Discovery of Quantum Behavior in Insulators Suggests Possible New Quantum Particle

In a surprising discovery, Princeton physicists have observed an unexpected quantum behavior in insulators made from a material called tungsten ditelluride. This phenomenon, known as quantum oscillation, is typically observed in metals rather than insulators, and its discovery offers new insights into our understanding of the quantum world. The findings also hint at the existence ...
