What color is an atom? Since atoms are smaller than the wavelength of visible light, we can’t see them directly - but they ...

Bose-Einstein condensates (BECs) are fascinating states of matter that emerge when atoms or molecules are cooled to extremely ...

New studies of the “platypus of materials” help explain how their atoms arrange themselves into orderly, but nonrepeating, patterns.

Materials scientists can learn a lot about a sample material by shooting lasers at it. With nonlinear optical microscopy—a ...

If these knots had a slight bias toward matter over antimatter, their unraveling could help explain the matter-antimatter ...

Researchers have discovered that quantum interactions between particles can be used to create time crystals with their own ...

This video explains how semiconductors work and how their electrical properties are controlled using band gaps and doping.

The technology could potentially cut down on the costs of time-consuming simulations and experiments and make it easier to ...

Instead of atoms arranging neatly into repeating patterns ... a doctoral researcher in Thomas Pohl’s group at TU Wien. Russo explained that scientists used to believe such phases would vanish once ...

The findings enhance understanding of lunar space weather and highlight challenges for future lunar bases due to solar events ...
