A new proposal makes the case that paraparticles — a new category of quantum particle — could be created in exotic materials.

Recent physics studies have discovered that quarks and gluons inside protons, which are subatomic positively charged ...

I have been a technology journalist for 30-plus years and have covered just about every kind of computer gear—from the 386SX to 64-core processors—in my long tenure as an editor, a writer, and ...

solid-state and nuclear physics, chemistry and materials science. The topics covered are Feynman diagram rules, microscopic mean-field theories (Hartree-Fock and Kohn-Sham theories, natural orbitals), ...

PARTICLE growth in supersaturated solutions has stimulated much theoretical and experimental work, but less attention has been paid to the subsequent reaction of particle coarsening in a matrix of ...

Applications for US unemployment benefits were little changed last week at a relatively low level that underscores a resilient labor market. Initial claims increased by 2,000 to 223,000 in the ...

British startup Magdrive claims it can help with both, via a new propulsion system for spacecraft that will launch into space for the first time later this year and will be fueled by solid metal.

The spectrum corresponding to this transient process reveals information on the intrinsic noise within viscous solids. A damped oscillatory spring model of particle vibration corresponding to ...

‘HyLiST’ stands for Hybrid Lithium Metal-based Scalable Solid State Battery Manufacturing. Under the leadership of the AIT Austrian Institute of Technology, an international consortium is working on ...

Italian scientists have achieved a groundbreaking feat by "freezing" light, revealing that it can exist as a supersolid—a rare state of matter that combines solid-like structure with frictionless flow ...

Credit: Oak Ridge National Laboratory / CC BY 2.0 Scientists have transformed light into a supersolid, a unique form of matter that behaves like both a solid and a liquid, for the first time. The ...
