In 1984, Bychkov and Rashba introduced a simple form of spin–orbit coupling to explain the
peculiarities of electron spin resonance in two-dimensional semiconductors. Over the past …

The goal of the Laser Interferometric Gravitational-Wave Observatory (LIGO) is to detect and
study gravitational waves (GWs) of astrophysical origin. Direct detection of GWs holds the …

Features of artificial small-scale ionospheric irregularities (ASI) induced at F-region heights
by powerful HF waves are discussed. The investigations presented here were performed …

Recently Lunin and Maldacena used an SL (3, Bbb R) transformation of the AdS 5× S 5
background to generate a supergravity solution dual to a so-called β-deformation of Script N= 4 …

The internal structure of spacetime inside a black hole is investigated on the assumption
that some limiting curvature exists. It is shown that the Schwarzschild metric inside the black …

We present cosmological parameter results from the final full-mission Planck measurements
of the cosmic microwave background (CMB) anisotropies, combining information from the …

Majorana fermions are particles identical to their own antiparticles. They have been
theoretically predicted to exist in topological superconductors. Here, we report electrical …

Structural transformations at interfaces are of profound fundamental interest as complex
examples of phase transitions in low-dimensional systems. Despite decades of extensive …

We report on the implications for cosmic inflation of the 2018 release of the Planck cosmic
microwave background (CMB) anisotropy measurements. The results are fully consistent with …

The European Space Agency’s Planck satellite, which was dedicated to studying the early
Universe and its subsequent evolution, was launched on 14 May 2009. It scanned the …
