Experimental and theoretical physicists from the Würzburg Institute for Topological Insulators observed a re-entrant quantum Hall effect in a mercury telluride device and identify it as a signatur ...

Two world-leading research groups, one led by Francesca Ferlaino and the other led by Markus Greiner, have combined their expertise to develop an ultra-precise quantum gas microscope for observing ...

<p><strong>For the first time, experimental physicists from the Würzburg-Dresden Cluster of Excellence ct.qmat have demonstrated a new quantum effect aptly named the “spinaron.” In a meticulously controlled environment and using an advanced set of instruments, they managed to prove the unusual state a cobalt atom assumes on a copper surface. This revelation challenges the long-held Kondo effect – a theoretical concept developed in the 1960s, and...

Which are the next walls to fall in science and society? The Falling Walls Foundation has announced the first six laureates of its Science Breakthrough of the Year award. The title is awarded annu ...

Leading female researchers in condensed matter physics will meet to exchange ideas at the University of Würzburg. Among them will be the former presid....

An international team of scientists has succeeded in experimentally confirming a characteristic of topological materials. The Universities of Würzburg and the Dresden with their Cluster of Excellence ct.qmat were involved.

Researchers at the Institute for Quantum Matter prove that mechanically manipulating a certain type of metal can change its magnetic properties, ushering in new applications for the rare and underutilized field of piezomagnetism

A highly unusual movement of light emitting particles in atomically-thin semiconductors was experimentally confirmed by scientists from the Würzburg–Dresden Cluster of Excellence ct.qmat–Complexit ...

As temperature decreases, so does the electrical resistance of metals -; most of the time. In metal with magnetic impurities, electrical resistance can increase as the temperature drops due to a strange phenomenon called the Kondo effect.
