Illustration of charge density wave (CDW) and periodic lattice distortion (PLD) and their symmetries in 1T-TiSe2. The symmetry of the system as a whole cannot be higher than the intersection of the two symmetries. As a result, the system becomes chiral, although neither CDW nor PLD is chiral by itself.

Schematic of the experimental approach. Credit: IMP, from Physical Review Letters (2024). DOI: 10.1103/PhysRevLett.133.193002 A new study published in Physical Review Letters and led by researchers from the Institute of Modern Physics (IMP) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) has demonstrated that a Coulomb explosion induced by highly charged ions is a unique tool […]
A worker at the Neutrino Experimental Facility at the Japan Proton Accelerator Research Complex (J-PARC) in Tokai.Credit: Dai Kurokawa/EPA/Shutterstock For the first time, researchers have accelerated muons — the heavier, unstable cousins of electrons — into a tightly controlled beam, bringing the vision of a muon collider a step closer to reality. A team at […]
