#A three-dimensional phase diagram of heavy-fermion compound with coexisting quantum phases

“#A three-dimensional phase diagram of heavy-fermion compound with coexisting quantum phases” Credit: Knafo et al. URu2Si2 is a metal that belongs to the family of heavy-fermion compounds in which several quantum phases (e.g., magnetism and superconductivity) can compete or coexist. These metals exhibit small energy scales that are easy to tune, a characteristic that makes…

#Tabletop quantum experiment could detect gravitational waves

“#Tabletop quantum experiment could detect gravitational waves” Credit: Pixabay/CC0 Public Domain Predicted by Einstein’s general theory of relativity, gravitational waves are ripples in space-time generated by certain movements of massive objects. They are important to study because they allow us to detect events in the universe that would otherwise leave little or no observable light,…
