Matter gets weird at the quantum scale, and among the oddities is the Efimov effect, a state in which the attractive forces ...

The findings come from the first quantum-mechanical simulations of quasicrystals—a type of solid that scientists once thought couldn't exist. While the atoms in quasicrystals are arranged in a ...

Discovery of new class of particles could take quantum mechanics one step further A study could lead to new ways of exploring quantum phenomena, with implications for future advances in technology ...

The first quantum mechanical simulations of quasicrystals have been made possible using a new technique, which also revealed why these disordered crystals are stable enough to exist in the first place ...

News Release 13-Jun-2025 First quantum-mechanical model of quasicrystals reveals why they exist Quasicrystals couldn't be simulated with quantum mechanics because of their irregular atomic patterns.
