A team led by a member of Tokyo Metropolitan University has made advances in the search for dark matter, observing galaxies ...

A possible method for probing the properties of exotic particles that exist on the surfaces of an unusual type of ...

For several years now, scientists have been using lasers to control the properties of matter at extremely fast rates: during one optical cycle of a light wave. But because these changes occur on the ...

Scientists have developed a method to track how lasers instantly change a material's transparency and conductivity on attosecond timescales, revealing ultrafast dynamics.

It is another phase of matter that many experts did not think ... known as a “topological qubit” based on this new phase of physical existence, which could be harnessed to solve mathematical ...

Platinum's unique physical and chemical properties make it a superior choice for certain jewelry applications, particularly those that prioritize durability and purity. Unlike gold, which is often ...

Mechanical properties are physical properties that a material exhibits upon the application of forces. Examples of mechanical properties are the modulus of elasticity, tensile strength ...

A team of Italian scientists has successfully made light behave like a supersolid for the first time. Published in Nature ...

Materials science is an interdisciplinary field concerned with the understanding and application of the properties of matter. Materials scientists study the connections between the underlying ...
