In a discovery that reshapes how scientists understand liquids, researchers have shown that microscopic oil droplets suspended in water can fold themselves into precise, six-pointed star shapes while ...

A new computational method allows modern atomic models to learn from experimental thermodynamic data, according to a ...

Abstract: This letter presents for the first time an innovative waveguide structure, the multigap-waveguide (MGWG), utilizing liquid crystal (LC) technology to develop a continuously tunable phase ...

Time crystals are an oddity of quantum physics, but new calculations show that these bizarre materials could be useful for building very accurate clocks. All crystals are defined by repetition – ...

In some solid materials under specific conditions, mutual Coulomb interactions shape electrons into many-body correlated states, such as Wigner crystals, which are essentially solids made of electrons ...

Mineral abundance isn’t unusual in Donghai. Liu may not even be the biggest operator on this block. Over the past few decades, the county has transformed from an unremarkable backwater into the ...

Gear-obsessed editors choose every product we review. We may earn commission if you buy from a link. Why Trust Us? Here’s what you’ll learn when you read this story: Time crystals are quantum phases ...

Abstract: We proposed a DHM system with improved spatial resolution compared with that of the polarized camera-based DHM system by employing a liquid crystal phase modulator (LCPM). The LCPM-based ...

High school science misses a lot of the science researchers actually work with. For example, you learn that there are three states of matter—solid, liquid, and gas—but in advanced physics, things get ...
