As a result of the tetrahedral symmetry of the lattice, a diamond crystal typically contains NV centers in four orientations.

Electricity flows through our cables, but some energy is lost as heat. These losses could be avoided thanks to ...

A study led by University of Oxford and Brookhaven National Laboratory researchers has uncovered how exposure to hydrogen ...

For nearly two centuries, scientists believed that ice becomes slippery because pressure or friction melts its surface. New research from Saarland University overturns this idea. For more than a ...

Ice, a common material, holds mysteries about its electrical behavior, with flexoelectricity potentially explaining ...

An international team of physicists kept solid gold intact while superheating it to 19,000 Kelvin, about 33,740 degrees Fahrenheit ...

First theorized in 2012, researchers are beginning to find new ways to implement this mind-bending technology.

In their study, Zhao and Smalyukh created a space–time crystal in the nematic phase of a liquid crystal. In this phase the crystal’s rod-like molecules align parallel to each other and also flow like ...

Imagine a clock that doesn't have electricity, but its hands and gears spin on their own for all eternity. In a new study, ...
