'Crazy' light emitters: Physicists see an unusual quantum phenomenon

A highly unusual movement of light emitting particles in atomically-thin semiconductors was experimentally confirmed by scientists from the Würzburg-Dresden Cluster of Excellence ct.qmat-Complexity and Topology in Quantum Matter. Electronic quasiparticles, known as excitons, seemed to move in opposite directions at the same time. Professor Alexey Chernikov-newly appointed physicist at the Technische Universität Dresden-and his team were able to reveal the consequences of this quantum phenomeno...
