Repeatedly energising a collection of ultracold atoms should destroy their collective structure, but quantum effects seem to counteract the process. “We expected to see the opposite,” says Nӓgerl. The ...

Three recent studies offer deeper understanding of thermodynamic behaviors with potential to impact materials engineering and energy systems. One shows how increasing elemental diversity in layered ...

Physicists have upended a foundational law of materials science by heating gold to over 19,000°C — more than 14 times its melting point — while it remained perfectly solid. The study, published in ...

NTT has demonstrated the simultaneous measurement of heat and entropy at the single-electron level in a dynamic random-access ...
