Study Shows Landau-Fermi Liquid Theory Breaks Down at Quantum Critical Point

A team of physicists from the Rice University, University of California, Los Angeles, and two Max Planck Institutes in Germany has discovered that electrons violate Landau-Fermi liquid theory only at quantum critical points (QCPs) but behave as explained by the theory on either side of a QCP.

Synthetic Ligands Connect Nanocrystals for Current Transmission

University of Southern California (USC) scientists have developed a method to produce stable, low-cost solar cells from nanocrystals. These cells can be printed or painted onto surfaces as they are in the form of a liquid ink. These solar nanocrystals can float in a liquid solution and measure around 4 nm.
