Inside what looks like a simple block of frozen water, quantum mechanics is quietly rewriting the rules of chemistry. New ...

In January, a team led by Jim Schuck, professor of mechanical engineering at Columbia Engineering, developed a method for ...

Physicists have created a visible, self-sustaining “time crystal” using swirling liquid crystals that move in endlessly repeating patterns when illuminated. Imagine a clock that runs forever without ...

Ancient Mars boasted abundant water, but the cold and dry conditions of today make liquid water on the Red Planet seem far ...

Researchers have discovered that ferroelectric fluids can harness an overlooked transverse electrostatic force (TEF) to rise ...

Researchers have designed a novel liquid metal composite material that could revolutionize the way we recycle electronics.

A new study reveals a "pinball phase" in a Wigner crystal, where electrons act as both solid and liquid in a quantum ...

Abstract: This paper describes an ultra-low phase noise 100 MHz crystal oscillator with a phase noise of around -140 dBc/Hz at a 100 Hz offset. The oscillator includes digitally-controlled phase ...

Electrons can freeze into strange geometric crystals and then melt back into liquid-like motion under the right quantum ...

Researchers at KRISS observed water’s rapid freeze–melt cycles under ultrahigh pressure and discovered Ice XXI, the first new ...

A subzero ice recrystallization route creates multimetal high entropy aerogels and coatings with uniform element mixing, ...

Abstract: Conventional optical lenses only have one focal point. Whereas compound lens systems with multiple lenses and mechanical actuators are used in modules to focus on near and far objects.
