A team of researchers has now observed something physicists had only theorized: a quasiparticle that behaves like it has mass ...

In a polaron, an electron and the lattice distortion that it induces in a crystal form a 'quasiparticle'. But a strong electric field can displace the two constituents with respect to each other ...

A hidden quantum wave may keep particles moving, even when everything else freezes. Researchers discovered that phasons, a ...

A new study by Rice University physicist Qimiao Si unravels the enigmatic behaviors of quantum critical metals—materials that defy conventional physics at low temperatures. Published in Nature ...
