When two-dimensional electron systems are subjected to magnetic fields at low temperatures, they can exhibit interesting states of matter, such as fractional quantum Hall liquids. These are exotic states of matter characterized by fractionalized excitations and the...

Pulsars are rapidly rotating neutron stars that emit regular radio wave pulses and beams of magnetic radiation, which can sometimes be detected from Earth. These pulsating stars are dense remnants of massive stars whose life terminated in a supernova explosion.
