Experiments have yielded a fascinating new type of matter, neither granular nor crystalline, that responds to some stresses as a fluid would and to others like a solid. The new material, known as PAM ...

Microsoft researchers report that when the system was given over 608,000 stable materials from databases, it was able to ...

A crystal is a solid with a periodic atomic structure and a deviation from the periodicity of the crystal lattice is called a defect. Crystalline defects include point defects (e.g. colour centres ...

A research team from the Erich Schmid Institute of Materials Science, Austrian Academy of Sciences, has unveiled an approach ...

Scientists have observed “bending” atoms using a crystal grating—an experiment once believed impossible at the high energies ...

The new material, known as PAM (for polycatenated architected materials) could have uses in areas ranging from helmets.

Researchers from Tokyo Metropolitan University have discovered a new superconducting material. They combined iron, nickel, ...

Researchers at Tokyo Metropolitan University have discovered a novel superconducting material by synthesizing a new ...

Recent research published in Physical Review Letters by PTB (Physikalisch-Technische Bundesanstalt) details the development ...

Snowflakes form when a cold water droplet freezes onto particulates (like dust or pollen) in the atmosphere, creating an ice ...

The next generation of atomic clocks "ticks" with the frequency of a laser. This is about 100,000 times faster than the ...
