At the smallest scales of nature, the rules of the world shift in ways that can feel unsettling and beautiful at the same ...

Charge density waves (CDWs) are ordered, crystal-like patterns in the arrangement of electrons that spontaneously form inside ...

Physicists have finally watched positronium, a short‑lived atom made of an electron and its antimatter twin, behave like a rippling quantum wave instead of a tiny billiard ball. In a set of ...

Electronics waste energy when handling light and electricity. A new material helps reduce this loss and improve system ...

Researchers from the labs of Professors Vinayak Dravid and Omar Farha developed a high-resolution approach to map ...

Watching proteins move as they drive the chemical reactions that sustain life is one of the grand challenges of modern ...

Condensed-matter physics and materials science have a silo problem. Although researchers in these fields have access to vast amounts of data – from experimental records of crystal structures and ...

With the terahertz scope, the team observed a frictionless “superfluid” of superconducting electrons that were collectively ...

Watching proteins move as they drive the chemical reactions that sustain life is one of the grand challenges of modern biology.In recent years, X-ray ...
