Researchers have detailed the physics behind a phenomenon that allows them to create spin in liquid droplets using ultrasound waves, which concentrates solid particles suspended in the liquid. The ...

"This is one more example of how the everyday ordinary world is full of wonders, if we only choose to see carefully." ...

Supersolid light, a newly discovered phase of matter, represents a groundbreaking leap in our understanding of physics. This phenomenon combines properties of both solids and superfluids, resulting in ...

Researchers in China have shown that applying strain to a composite material using an electric field induces a large and reversible caloric effect. This novel way of enhancing the caloric effect ...

Researcher Heike Pfau attaches an experimental setup at the base of a cooling unit at the Max Planck Institute for Chemical Physics of Solids in Dresden, Germany. The experiment allowed Pfau and ...

Famously, at the quantum scale, particles can be in multiple possible locations at once. A particle’s state spreads out like a wave, peaking where the particle is likely to be found. When you measure ...

In condensed matter physics, things can get pretty weird. When temperatures get close to absolute zero, it is possible to put matter in a state called supersolid, a crystal that can flow without ...
