Modeling the quantum world is far from easy. The physical peculiarities of quantum mechanics are far removed from the world ...

Is Ranch Dressing a Liquid or a Solid? Imagine you’re sitting down for dinner. You pick up a bottle of ranch dressing, flip it upside down, and expect it to pour onto your plate. But nothing happens.

Complex materials such as organic compound semiconductors or the microporous metal-organic frameworks known as MOFs are ...

What happens when a quantum physicist is frustrated by the limitations of quantum mechanics when trying to study densely ...

To get around the constraints of quantum physics, researchers have built a new acoustic system to study the way the minuscule atoms of condensed matter talk together. They hope to one day build an ...

A novel sulfide-based solid electrolyte from CAS researchers is revolutionizing battery technology with its exceptional ionic ...

Complex materials such as organic semiconductors or the microporous metal-organic frameworks known as MOFs are already being ...

Hundreds of regular patterns spontaneously emerge on a small germanium chip. A curiosity about tiny dots on a germanium wafer with metal films led to the discovery of intricate spiral patterns etched ...

Researchers developed a high ionic conductivity sulfide-based solid electrolytes, enhancing the performance of all-solid-state lithium-ion batteries (ASSBs).

A recent study evaluating garnet-type solid electrolytes for lithium metal batteries finds that their expected energy density ...

Physics is the science of matter and of the forces that hold our universe together. Scientific achievements in physics can affect philosophical thinking and our entire worldview, but physics research ...

A supersolid is a rare state of matter that defies conventional physics. It has the rigid structure of a solid but moves like a frictionless liquid. In normal solids, atoms remain fixed in place, ...
