Materials that look like mosaics of triangular tiles at the atomic level sometimes have paradoxical properties, and quantum physicists have...
Phase transitions are everywhere, ranging from water boiling to snowflakes melting, and from magnetic transitions in solids to cosmological phase...
A semiconducting material that performed a quantum “flip” from a conductor to an insulator above room temperature has been developed...
Researchers at PSI have compared the electron distribution below the oxide layer of two semiconductors. The investigation is part of...
New research conducted at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) explores the expansion of a classical mechanics model, that has been...
For quantum communication or optical computing it is important to measure and to influence in which direction a light wave...
Numbers like π, e and φ often turn up in unexpected places in science and mathematics. Pascal’s triangle and the...
Researchers have developed an adaptive liquid lens based on a new electrically responsive fluid called dibutyl adipate (DBA) that changes...
One of the mind-bending ideas that physicists and mathematicians have come up with is that space itself—not just objects in...
Scientists are now one step closer to better understanding how to live in a “quantum” world—and not just from watching...
A pair of University of Houston engineers has discovered that they can create upward fountains in water by shining laser beams...
University of Surrey researchers have developed a single-step procedure to put single-crystal silicon under more strain than has been achieved...
