One such state, first proposed by Nobel laureate Eugene Wigner, is the Wigner crystal—a structured electron arrangement caused by their mutual repulsion.

However, the currently used resonators come with a big limitation. They continuously lose energy and need a constant power ...

As net zero goals revive the push for atomic power, could it light the way or lead to disaster? Three timely books explore ...

The phase is named after Eugene Wigner, who predicted in 1934 that electrons would crystallize in a lattice when certain interactions between them are strong enough.

Quantum mystery In 1961 Eugene Wigner imagined a friend doing an experiment in a lab while he waits outside. The paradox is that Wigner and the friend predict different outcomes, yet both are right.

Physicist Eugene Wigner predicted this phenomenon in 1934, but researchers only recently started to understand how to create Wigner crystals in the lab.

At low temperatures and densities, groups of electrons can crystallize into a solid form known as a Wigner crystal, named after theoretical physicist Eugene Wigner who first predicted their ...

This last question was highlighted in 1961 by Hungarian physicist Eugene Wigner, who came up with a thought experiment involving himself and an imaginary friend.

This, at least, is what the physicist Eugene Wigner predicted 90 years ago would happen. But while scientists have seen evidence of this type of crystalline lattice forming before (for example, in a ...

Nobel laureate Eugene Wigner once wrote that mathematics has the uncanny ability to describe the universe around us. That’s the spirit behind the new book “The Big Bang of Numbers: How to ...
