This finding confirms that quasicrystals are shaped by hidden higher-dimensional physics, not just random patterns. A ...

Phase transitions, shifts between different states of matter, are widely explored physical phenomena. So far, these ...

Theoretical Physics, thermodynamics and statistical mechanics of condensed matter systems: exact calculations involving the two-dimensional Ising model, solid-liquid transitions in systems of small ...

We can also make heterostructures of different materials. Here, entirely new physics can emerge at the interfacial regions. An interesting question is how thin do you need to be to show 2D physics?

"Things are a little different when we create a one-dimensional gas instead of a two-dimensional one," says ... the laws of quantum physics take over from classical physics enough to form a ...
