  • By studying neutron 'starquakes', scientists hope to transform their understanding of nuclear matter

    Updated: 2025-02-05 18:15:59
    The study of 'starquakes' (like earthquakes, but in stars) promises to give us important new insights into the properties of neutron stars, improving our understanding of the universe and advancing the way we live.

  • New spin on quantum liquids: Quasi-1D dynamics in molecular spin systems

    Updated: 2025-02-05 18:12:50
    Quantum spin liquids are fascinating states of matter where magnetic spins stay disordered, defying the usual rules of magnetism. Scientists have made an exciting discovery about one such material. Instead of acting like a 2D system as expected, it behaves like a 1D system. This breakthrough changes how we understand these mysterious materials, offering new insights into magnetism and opening doors to advances in quantum materials and technology.
