"This is one more example of how the everyday ordinary world is full of wonders, if we only choose to see carefully." ...

In 2004 researchers reported the first clear evidence for superfluidity in solid helium-4. However, Matthew Chalmers describes recent experimental and theoretical work that has brought the very ...

Science and technology could be revolutionized by quantum computers, but building them from solid-state devices will not be easy. Robert W Keyes of IBM's research division outlines the challenges in ...

A proposed form of ice acts like a cross between a solid and a liquid. Now, a new study strengthens the case that the weird state of matter really exists. Normal ice is composed of water molecules, ...

scope and states of condensed matter physics: "More is Different" "standard model" of solid state physics band structure: insulators and conductors experimental probes ...

From the classroom to cutting-edge research labs, solid mechanics is evolving into a deeper, more precise science. Engineers and scientists are uncovering the hidden rules behind material strength, ...

Condensed matter physics, which analyzes the behavior of electrons in organized solid matter, has been treated as a completely separate field of study from soft matter physics, which deals with ...

Physicists take on the big questions to discover how the universe works—from the smallest particles to the largest galaxies. Physicists experiment, observe, and analyze phenomena using mathematical ...
