Gravity is by far the weakest of nature’s four fundamental forces, and physicists have spent decades asking a deceptively simple question: why? One answer, first sketched a century ago and refined ...

A team of physicists has experimentally confirmed a long-predicted sequence of exotic magnetic phases in an atomically thin ...

In the ceaseless pursuit of energy-efficient computing, new devices designed at UC Santa Barbara show promise for enhancements in information processing and data storage. Researchers in the lab of ...

Multiferroic metals are materials that exhibit both electric polarization and magnetic order in the same crystal—a state ...

Stephen has degrees in science (Physics major) and arts (English Literature and the History and Philosophy of Science), as well as a Graduate Diploma in Science Communication. Stephen has degrees in ...

Two-dimensional (2D) semiconductors have emerged as a material platform for the investigation of exciton physics. Their reduced dimensionality, combined with weak screening, fosters robust Coulomb ...
