Collective quantum phenomena, such as the excitation of composite fermions1, spin waves2, and exciton condensation3,4, can emerge in strongly correlated systems like the fractional quantum Hall states5, spin liquids6, or excitonic…

Type III solar radio bursts are generated by streams of energetic electrons accelerated at the Sun during periods of the solar activity. The generation occurs in two steps. Initially, electron beams generate electrostatic Langmuir waves and…
