Using atomic-resolution spectroscopy on Ni3In, researchers from Rice and Weizmann experimentally confirmed compact molecular orbitals as the drivers of flat-band quantum criticality.

A European team used muon spin spectroscopy under hydrostatic pressure to show that squeezing Y-kapellasite suppresses its magnetic order without any structural change, producing a clean quantum spin liquid state driven purely by geometric frustration.

Physicists at the University of Wurzburg used a gallium arsenide quantum film cooled to -269.15 C to measure KPZ scaling exponents in 2D, four years after the 1D version was confirmed.

Independent teams publishing in Nature and Nature Communications show that doping infinite-layer nickelates with europium revives superconductivity at magnetic fields that should destroy it.

Researchers at the Indian Institute of Science report a quantum-critical electron fluid in graphene with viscosity near the theoretical lower bound and a dramatic decoupling of heat and charge transport.

ETH Zurich and University of Basel researchers permanently reversed a ferromagnet's polarity using only laser light in twisted bilayer molybdenum ditelluride, published in Nature.
