Imagine a liquid that flows freely one moment, then stiffens into a near-solid the next, and then can switch back with a ...

A phonon-based theoretical framework for liquids marks a major step toward a universal equation of state with broad implications across physics, chemistry and engineering ...

As few as five electrons in a semiconductor can exhibit collective behaviour, forming a “Coulomb liquid”, according to researchers in Europe. This extends the study of correlated systems to electron ...

Scientists are on the trail of a mysterious five-particle structure that could challenge one of the biggest theories in physics: string theory. This rare particle—never seen before and predicted not ...

The photoelectric effect, first explained in 1905, transformed our understanding of how light interacts with matter. When ...

Many electric motors currently use copper in their stators and often their rotors. In a search for alternatives, researchers ...

A team of researchers has developed a novel method for using cholesteric liquid crystals in optical microcavities. The ...

The effects of inhaling wildfire smoke can be as stressful to calves as weaning, according to research from the Oregon State ...

Google has signed the first-ever corporate power purchase agreement for nuclear fusion energy, marking a major step in the ...

The introduction of the new catalyst would have an advantage beyond cutting the cost of synthesis for many industrial ...

Potentially hazardous air quality has gripped Phoenix, Arizona, as a combination of stagnant weather, windblown dust, and warm temperatures fueled a rise in PM10 pollution, prompting hazy skies and ...

At the Department of Energy's Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab), the 88-Inch Cyclotron is a powerful ...
