Beyond Classical Physics: Scientists Discover New State of Matter With Chiral Properties

Posted by in categories: materials, quantum physics

An international research group has identified a novel state of matter, characterized by the presence of a quantum phenomenon known as chiral current.

These currents are generated on an atomic scale by a cooperative movement of electrons, unlike conventional magnetic materials whose properties originate from the quantum characteristic of an electron known as spin and their ordering in the crystal.
