Diamonds are forever, but how about helium? The diamond anvil crushed iron and helium together under conditions mimicking ...

From integrated photonics to quantum information science, the ability to control light with electric fields—a phenomenon ...

How do we predict the lifetime of superconductors when they are subjected to conditions that cannot yet be recreated anywhere ...

Silicon is the best-known semiconductor material. However, controlled nanostructuring drastically alters the material's properties. Using a specially developed etching apparatus, a team has now ...

Quantum sensors take the biggest roadblock for quantum computers—unwanted interference, or noise—and turn it into a strength. Noise wrecks quantum computers because the quantum states they use for ...

The study has been published in Nature. Unlike regular ice, plastic Ice VII requires extreme conditions to form.

Explore the new material that transforms from solid to liquid on demand, revolutionizing technology in various fields.

A new form of ice that acts as both a liquid and a solid simultaneously has been proven to exist years after it was theorized ...

High-pressure experiments generated the first direct observation of plastic ice, which has qualities of both crystalline ice and liquid water.

The study identifies monolayer amorphous carbon (MAC) as a breakthrough in material science, exhibiting superior toughness ...

Like graphene, MAC is also a 2D or single atom-thick material. But unlike graphene where atoms are arranged in an ordered ⎯ ...
