Leggett later switched to theoretical condensed-matter physics, and rapidly made the subject of macroscopic quantum phenomena his own. Only eight years after his PhD, he created a remarkably intuitive ...

A puzzling form of superconductivity that arises only under strong magnetic fields has been mapped and explained by a research team including Andriy Nevidomskyy, professor of physics and astronomy at ...

The Lodha Theoretical Physics Institute plans to work alongside the Indian government on building a STEM research ecosystem ...

Physicist Boris Shraiman has led an intellectually peripatetic career, to great satisfaction, success and acclaim. The theoretician, a professor at UC Santa Barbara, was recently awarded the American ...

Joining the sweeping theory of general relativity to the probabilistic world of quantum mechanics is perhaps the greatest challenge in modern physics. Each has been borne out on its own scale by ...

A new unified theory connects two fundamental domains of modern quantum physics: It joins two opposite views of how a single exotic particle behaves in a many-body system, namely as a mobile or static ...
