Researchers built a silver-grooved chip that channels laser energy into nanometer-spaced peaks, beating the diffraction limit and aiding light-matter studies.

The rapidly growing field of research on chiral phonons is giving researchers new insights into the fundamental behaviors and structures of materials. The chirality of phonons could pave the way for ...

Phonons are sound particles or quantized vibrations of atoms in solid materials. The Debye model, a theory introduced by ...

A new theory-based approach provides access to the minute transverse motion of quarks within protons. Nuclear physicists have developed a new theoretical framework that allows them to calculate a ...

UC Santa Barbara physicists have engineered entangled spin systems in diamond that surpass classical sensing limits through ...

MIT scientists uncovered direct evidence of unconventional superconductivity in magic-angle graphene by observing a distinctive V-shaped energy gap. The discovery hints that electron pairing in this ...

A balloon drifting 37 kilometers above Antarctica once caught a whisper from the ice that should never have been heard. In ...

Physicists have discovered how to make electrons “freeze” and “melt” into bizarre quantum patterns, forming a new kind of matter where solid and liquid coexist. Electricity drives nearly every aspect ...

Young corals can still build skeletons in acidic water, but the altered crystal structure makes the skeletons smaller and ...

Every sheet of frost contains ionic defects. In a new paper published in Small Methods, Jonathan Boreyko’s team uses high ...

The development of India’s first indigenous Quantum Diamond Microscope by IIT Bombay’s P-Quest group marks a significant milestone in the country’s quantum-technology journey.

A more efficient way to defrost cars - using electricity to "zap" ice without heat or chemicals - is being developed. Frost ...
