On the highway of heat transfer, thermal energy is traditionally moved through quantum particles known as phonons. However, in today’s nanoscale semiconductors, the efficacy of phonons in removing heat has reached its limit. This limitation has led researchers at Purdue University to focus on harnessing the potential of a novel type of quasiparticles called “polaritons”

Throughout adulthood, there has been a prevailing notion that the thymus gland is no longer essential. However, a recent retrospective study challenges this belief and suggests that the thymus gland may play a crucial role in our overall health. The study conducted by US researchers revealed that individuals who had their thymus removed face an

In 1960, Joaquin Luttinger presented a groundbreaking statement that established a relationship between the behavior of a system’s low-energy excitations and the total number of particles it can accommodate. This theorem held true not only in systems of independent particles but also in correlated quantum matter with strong interactions between the particles. However, recent research
