We distinguish two phenomena responsible for non-quantized flux penetration: the finite-size effect1,2,3,4 and a nonlinear screening of the magnetic field due to the presence of a surface barrier.

Quantized vortices – one of the defining features of superfluidity – have been seen in a supersolid for the first time. Observed by researchers in Austria, these vortices provide further confirmation ...

As quantum computers threaten modern encryption methods, researchers at a Calgary company are developing the next generation ...

Quantized conductance — whereby the current through a wire changes in a stepwise, rather than continuous manner — has been seen in very narrow ribbons of graphene for the first time. The discovery was ...

Nature – Quantized Majorana conductance Definite proof In the first experiment of 2012, the zero-bias peak was noisy, and difficult to see. This made the Majorana appearance debatable. In the years ...

Quantized Inertia (QI) is a theory of inertia first proposed in 2007 by physicist Mike McCulloch, from the University of Plymouth. The phenomenon of inertia is defined in Newton’s First Law: “Objects ...

(Image credit: Future) If we add 16th-note swing quantise to MIDI notes, you’ll see it’s shifting every other note later, so all of the off-beat 16ths. Similarly, if we apply eighth-note swing, it ...
