Researchers at the Max Planck Institute for the Structure and Dynamics of Matter (MPSD) have theoretically demonstrated that ...

Inspired by superconductivity, a strange new theory that seeks to explain dark matter might explain dark energy, too ...

Objects and materials have different characteristics or properties. Testing materials can help identify their properties. To compare their properties, different materials need to be tested in the same ...

It can be found inside gas giants such as Jupiter and is briefly created during meteorite impacts or in laser fusion ...

The same layered material can be made to behave as a superconductor, metal, semiconductor or insulator by using a transistor device developed by RIKEN physicists to tweak its electronic properties.

Our scientific interests encompass different branches of soft condensed matter and optical physics, including novel laser trapping and imaging techniques, molecular and colloidal self-assembly, ...

Researchers have discovered a new class of materials -- called intercrystals -- with unique electronic properties that could power future technologies. Intercrystals exhibit newly discovered forms ...

The three states of matter can be represented by the particle model. This model explains the properties of substances in their different states, as well as changes of state. Interactive activity ...

A new publication from Opto-Electronic Sciences; DOI 10.29026/oes.2024.240011 , discusses control of light–matter interactions in two-dimensional materials with nanoparticle-on-mirror structures.

Matter and materials. ... In all three different states, water is essential to everything on Earth. Image gallery Skip image gallery. Image caption, When water is at room temperature it is a liquid.

The honeycomb in question, however, is vastly different from those materials—the CMR occurs only when conditions avoid that same kind of magnetic polalrization. The shift in electrical properties is ...
