Researchers have detailed the physics behind a phenomenon that allows them to create spin in liquid droplets using ultrasound waves, which concentrates solid particles suspended in the liquid. The ...

In a groundbreaking experiment, researchers have successfully transformed light into a supersolid, an unusual state of matter that exhibits properties of both a solid and a fluid. This discovery ...

A water-powered nanogenerator uses droplet formation to convert flowing water into electricity, providing a clean, ...

Low-energy electrons escape from some materials via distinct “doorway” states, according to a study done by physicists at Austria’s Vienna Institute of Technology. The team studied graphene-based ...

Solid, liquid, gas … and something else? While most of us learn about just three states of matter in elementary school, physicists have discovered several exotic varieties that can exist under extreme ...

Transportation accounts for 23% of energy-related carbon dioxide emissions and electrification is a pathway toward ameliorating these growing challenges. All solid-state batteries could potentially ...
