These newly discovered spinning crystals twist, break, and heal themselves, revealing a strange new side of solid matter.

Physical systems become inherently more complicated and difficult to produce in a lab as the number of dimensions they exist ...

Researchers have developed a technique that allows them to carve complex three dimensional nanodevices directly from single ...

Using a superconducting quantum computer, physicists created a large and complex version of an odd quantum material that has ...

Florida State University scientists have engineered a new crystal that forces atomic magnets to swirl into complex, repeating patterns. The effect comes from mixing two nearly identical compounds ...

When materials become just one atom thick, melting no longer follows the familiar rules. Instead of jumping straight from solid to liquid, an unusual in-between state emerges, where atomic positions ...

A team of physicists has discovered a surprisingly simple way to build nuclear clocks using tiny amounts of rare thorium. By electroplating thorium onto steel, they achieved the same results as years ...
