As the nation celebrates the day with science exhibitions and fairs in schools and research institutions, let’s trace the ...

Atoms measure roughly 0.1 nanometers across, a scale so small that scientists spent more than six decades developing ...

Scientists at the U.S. Naval Research Laboratory (NRL) have identified the true source of a magnetic effect seen in the material ruthenium dioxide (RuO₂), helping resolve an active debate in the ...

As much as 45 oceans’ worth of hydrogen may be in Earth’s core, scientists reported, suggesting most of Earth’s water was acquired during the planet’s formation.

It may sound like an oxymoron, but this massive nanoparticle made up of 7,000 sodium atoms is the largest to exhibit such quantum behavior.

Researchers have gained new insights into the development of the light-induced ferroelectric state in SrTiO3. They exposed the material to mid-infrared and terahertz frequency laser pulses and found ...

Quantum physics overturned classical ideas by showing that matter behaves very differently at the smallest scales. One of its most surprising discoveries was wave-particle duality, the idea that ...

Crystallography let scientists see materials as systems of ordered atoms, turning materials research into a predictive science. In revealing how atomic arrangements govern strength, conductivity, and ...

Researchers built a silver-grooved chip that channels laser energy into nanometer-spaced peaks, beating the diffraction limit and aiding light-matter studies. (Nanowerk News) Physics is full of pesky ...

Optical dispersion occurs when the refractive index of a material changes with the wavelength of incoming light. This variation causes different colors to move at different speeds in transparent media ...

Recent experimental findings from the research team led by Prof. Jianbo Hu at the Institute of Fluid Physics, China Academy of Engineering Physics (CAEP), revealed partial dislocation-mediated plastic ...
