Imagine a "smart fluid" whose internal structure can be rearranged just by changing temperature. In a new study published in Matter, researchers report a way to overcome a long-standing limitation in ...
Environmentally friendly dissolution-based method reduces temperature of water by nearly 27 K in just 20 seconds ...
Electrons confined within self-assembled phosphorus chains have been shown to move in a strictly one-dimensional manner, marking a significant advance in condensed matter physics and nanomaterials ...
Despite being riddled with impurities and defects, solution-processed lead-halide perovskites are surprisingly efficient at ...
At the smallest scales of matter, nature behaves in ways that feel almost counterintuitive. Individual particles follow ...
When everyday matter is cooled, it follows a familiar path. A gas becomes a liquid, and with further cooling, that liquid turns into a solid. Quantum ...
Physicists have watched a quantum fluid do something once thought almost impossible: stop moving. In experiments with ultra-thin graphene, researchers observed a superfluid—normally defined by its ...
With the terahertz scope, the team observed a frictionless “superfluid” of superconducting electrons that were collectively ...
US physicists have shed light on a long-standing mystery after they captured rare experimental ...
Physicists have observed a strange new quantum phase in a graphene-based system, where a superfluid appears to freeze into a solid-like state. Cooling usually pushes matter through a simple sequence.
M. Brian Maple is a Distinguished Professor and holds the Bernd T. Matthias Endowed Chair in Physics at the University of California San Diego. He is also an alumnus who earned his doctorate in 1969, ...
