Over the past decades, energy engineers have developed increasingly advanced battery technologies that can store more energy, ...

Physicists have forced light to behave like electrons trapped in a magnetic field, reproducing the quantum Hall effect with photons for the first time. The experiment, carried out on an optical fiber ...

For more than 40 years, scientists have known that the quantum Hall effect impacts electrons in strong magnetic fields, but it turns out light also follows the fundamental phenomenon.

Scientists have pulled off a feat long considered out of reach: getting light to mimic the famous quantum Hall effect. In ...

In physics, the classical "Hall effect," discovered in the late 19th century, describes how a transverse voltage is generated when an electric current is exposed to a perpendicular magnetic field.

A 19th-century thought experiment, considered for decades to break the laws of thermodynamics, has been brought to life inside a quantum computer and used to charge a quantum battery. Physicist James ...

In many quantum materials—materials with unusual electrical and magnetic properties driven by quantum mechanical effects—electrons can organize themselves into Landau levels. Landau levels are ...
