In the photonic synthetic dimension, the coupling of internal degrees of freedom of photons, such as frequency, spatial mode, and orbital angular momentum, generates extra dimensions in addition to ...

Researchers have devised a straightforward method to probe the band geometry using ultracold atoms in an optical lattice. MPQ/LMU scientists devise new interferometer to probe the geometry of band ...

Most of the time, cooking is a matter of following a recipe - combine specific amounts of specific ingredients in the right way and the predictable outcome is that you'll wind up with a tasty meal.

Despite a deep understanding of the properties of individual atoms -- the 'ingredients' that make up a crystal -- scientists found that, when they are combined they often display new, unanticipated ...

A new technique for measuring the electronic band structure of solid materials has been unveiled by physicists in Canada. The new method does not require the sample to be placed in a vacuum chamber ...
