Scientists find new, long-hypothesized material state with signature of quantum disordered liquid-like magnetic moments
https://m.phys.org/news/2019-09-scientists-long-hypothesized-material-state-signature.htmlThe future of technology relies, to a great extent, on new materials, but the work of developing those materials begins years before any specific application for them is known. Stephen Wilson, a professor of materials in UC Santa Barbara’s College of Engineering, works in that “long before” realm, seeking to create new materials that exhibit desirable new states.

Unique electrical properties in quantum materials can be controlled using light: New research on Weyl semimetals, a class of quantum materials, unlocks unique quantum properties that can be used to create light-controlled electronic devices in the future.
https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2019/08/190805134054.htmScientists combine light and matter to make particles with new behaviors
https://phys.org/news/2019-07-scientists-combine-particles-behaviors.htmlEvery type of atom in the universe has a unique fingerprint: It only absorbs or emits light at the particular energies that match the allowed orbits of its electrons. That fingerprint enables scientists to identify an atom wherever it is found. A hydrogen atom in outer space absorbs light at the same energies as one on Earth.

Scientists capture image of quantum entanglement for the first time
Quantum entanglement, where two objects become intertwined and remain so no matter the distance that grows between them, is a tricky phenomenon to study let alone photograph. But scientists doing the former have now managed the latter, capturing an image of this strange bond for the first time.

A University of Colorado Boulder physicist is one step closer to solving a string theory puzzle 20 years in the making.
Paul Romatschke, an associate professor of physics at CU Boulder, has devised an alternative set of tools to those that created string theory’s three-quarters dilemma, a mathematical puzzle that has plagued scientists for years and has kept them from fully understanding and proving this possible “theory of everything.”
