Five phases of localization physics observed in a single quantum system

Five phases of localization physics observed in a single quantum system

Key Points

Physicists in China have observed five phases in localization physics within a single quantum system. Using an advanced photonic platform, the team, led by Yucheng Wang and Jingyun Fan at the Southern University of Science and Technology, Shenzhen, has demonstrated that localization physics is likely far richer than physicists anticipated. Their results have been published in Physical Review Letters.

New research links prenatal exposure to Pfas to later development of PMOS

Study suggests exposure to ‘forever chemicals’ may be a main driver of disease, formerly called PCOS, authors sayNew research for the first time links prenatal exposure to Pfas “forever chemicals” with the development of polyendocrine metabolic ovarian syndrome (PMOS) later in life. PMOS, formerly known as polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS), is estimated to impact about 13% of women. Many cases are undiagnosed, and the disease’s cause largely remains a mystery.
