The great Russian physicist and Nobel laureate Lev Landau once remarked that "cosmologists are often in error, but never in doubt." In studying the history of the universe itself, there is always ...

Physicists have found a simple and effective way to skip over an energy level in a three-state system, potentially leading to increased quantum computational power with fewer qubits.

Almost 70 years ago Russian physicist Lev Landau and his collaborators introduced an incredibly successful conjecture, now known as Landau Fermi liquid theory, to try to understand electron ...

The linear rise in resistance threatened a celebrated explanation of how electric charge moves through metals. Proposed in 1956, Lev Landau’s “Fermi liquid” theory placed electrons at the center of it ...

“Three-stone rings have been on the rise, using the most unexpected and visually interesting cuts and shapes as side stones,” says Lev. Landau agrees, saying the three stone ring with ...

Sixty years ago, Soviet scientist Lev Landau (1908–68) won the Nobel Prize in Physics. This anniversary coincides with the London Institute for Mathematical Sciences’ announcement of five ...

In case of abuse, “Beware, he bites!” A plate with such an inscription on the office door at the Kharkiv University was nailed by Lev Landau. He was strict as a scientist and joyful at the ...
