Sometimes, even the simplest things can set off a quantum phenomenon.
For scientists and engineers, the best way to understand a new or unknown material--whether it's an alloy, a pharmaceutical or a meteorite--is to delve into its atoms. Techniques such as X-ray ...
Exotic states of matter known as time crystals are largely considered a quantum phenomenon. Now, a team from New York ...
Novel lithography approach offers photonic crystal patterns with a 600 nm period. Villigen, Switzerland, January 27, 2010 - Today, Eulitha AG of Switzerland and Dai Nippon Printing Co., Ltd. (DNP) of ...
Researchers at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) have demonstrated a technique for mapping deformation in metals that can recover destroyed serial numbers on metal objects such ...
Because liquid crystals are similar to oil, the surfactants were attracted to the liquid crystal shells, causing the molecules to order in different ways and create striking patterns. The more soap ...
Researchers have found special atomic patterns called quasicrystals in 3D-printed aluminum alloys. Quasicrystals increase the strength of 3D-printed aluminum, the researchers discovered, making it ...
