Note: Articles may be assigned to more than one subject area, as a result the sum of the subject research outputs may not equal the overall research outputs. Actionable insights into research ...

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 ...

A research team has identified environmental interactions as the cause of ultrafast electronic decoherence in solids, a long-standing open question in quantum physics.

Supersolid light, a newly discovered phase of matter, represents a groundbreaking leap in our understanding of physics. This phenomenon combines properties of both solids and superfluids, resulting in ...

Researchers have derived the governing equations that describe and explain the macroscopic mechanical behavior of elastomers filled with liquid inclusions directly in terms of their microscopic ...

Researcher Heike Pfau attaches an experimental setup at the base of a cooling unit at the Max Planck Institute for Chemical Physics of Solids in Dresden, Germany. The experiment allowed Pfau and ...

Thought experiments can be extremely powerful; after all, pretty much everything that [Einstein] came up with was based on thought experiments. But when a thought experiment turns into a real ...

Copper, platinum, aluminum, gold. Metals have been so important in human history that we’ve named historical epochs (the Bronze Age, the Iron Age) for their transformative power. These materials, with ...

The Department of Physics and Engineering Physics offers major programs of lecture and laboratory instruction leading to the bachelor of science in physics and the bachelor of science in engineering ...
