Download the experiment instructions HERE! Let’s learn about the properties of liquids and solids: Solids are not compressible, they’re rigid, they don’t flow, and their particles are packed close ...

Glassy states represent a fascinating class of disordered materials in which atoms or molecules are frozen into non-crystalline arrangements. Their vibrational properties differ markedly from those of ...

Berry curvature may not be the most well-known scientific concept, but to many physicists, its direct measurement is something akin to a holy grail. A powerful unifying principle in several branches ...

A recent NSR paper measures mechanical properties of solids as a function of both crystalline grain size and grain-boundary thickness The world of solid materials is not composed solely of perfectly ...

Physicists have found that large-amplitude acoustic waves, launched by ultrashort laser pulses, can dynamically manipulate the optical response of semiconductors. One of the main challenges in ...
