A dry material makes a great fire starter, and a soft material lends itself to a sweater. Batteries require materials...
Our data-driven world demands more—more capacity, more efficiency, more computing power. To meet society’s insatiable need for electronic speed, physicists...
A new analysis of data from the PHENIX experiment at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) reveals fresh evidence that...
At extremely high densities, quarks are expected to form pairs, as electrons do in a superconductor. This high-density quark behavior...
Physicists have spent more than a century measuring and making sense of the strange ways that photons, electrons, and other...
A study from Oxford University has uncovered why the deep neural networks (DNNs) that power modern artificial intelligence are so...
MIT physicists have created a new ultrathin, two-dimensional material with unusual magnetic properties that initially surprised them before they went...
The amorphous state of matter is the most abundant form of visible matter in the universe, and includes all structurally...
A team of physicists led by The City College of New York’s Lia Krusin-Elbaum has developed a novel technique that...
Amid the many mysteries of quantum physics, subatomic particles don’t always follow the rules of the physical world. They can...
Whether it’s the meeting room of an office building, the exhibition room of a museum or the waiting area of...
Quantum computers require extreme cooling to perform reliable calculations. One of the challenges preventing quantum computers from entering society is...
