As tough as medieval chainmail armor and as soft as a contact lens. This material is not taken from science fiction, it is a ...

The triboluminescence (TL) of metal halide perovskite (MHP) films is found for the first time. Scraping the MHP film with a ...

Quantum spin liquids are exotic states of matter in which spins (i.e., the intrinsic angular momentum of electrons) do not ...

A team at UNIGE has uncovered a geometric structure once thought to be purely theoretical at the core of quantum materials, opening the door to major advances in future electronics. How can ...

New research offers clearer insight into how phase transitions unfold at the atomic scale in real materials. When ice turns into water, the change happens almost instantly. Once the melting ...

By inserting tiny imperfections into the stones, scientists open up possibilities in computing, encryption and sensors ...

Quantum chemistry is quietly entering a new phase, one where some of the hardest problems in materials science are finally ...

Now, researchers at the University of Chicago Pritzker School of Molecular Engineering and the Abdus Salam International ...

Rapid advances in the kind of problems that quantum computers can tackle suggest that they are closer than ever to becoming ...

For more than a century, schoolbook physics has divided matter into neat categories like solid, liquid, gas, and plasma. A ...

Startups flush with cash are building AI-assisted laboratories to find materials far faster and more cheaply, but are still ...
