Ever stumble across an old science fiction novel and realize the author basically nailed our present? There's something ...

Deep beneath our feet, far beyond the reach of drills or submersibles, Earth hides a solid metal heart that behaves in ways geophysicists have struggled to explain. New experiments now suggest that a ...

The Structural Science Society (ACA) today announced the appointment of Mark Wilson, Professor and Associate Department Head ...

While the 21st century has been bumpy, it has also ushered in monumental scientific and technological breakthroughs that have ...

A pulse of light sets the tempo in the material. Atoms in a crystalline sheet just a few atoms thick begin to move—not randomly, but in a coordinated rhythm, twisting and untwisting in sync like ...

X-ray diffraction (XRD) is a powerful non-destructive analytical technique used to evaluate crystalline materials and determine their structural properties. As one of the most widely used ...

Optical dispersion occurs when the refractive index of a material changes with the wavelength of incoming light. This variation causes different colors to move at different speeds in transparent media ...

ABSTRACT: Similar to Harari’s proposal that all leptonic and baryonic matter is composed of four substructure fundamental particles and their antiparticles, T,V, T ˜ , V ˜ , we propose that the two ...

Pressure tuning of phase transitions is a powerful tool in condensed matter physics, permitting high-resolution studies while preserving fundamental symmetries. At the highest pressures, energy ...

The use of lasers to induce extreme compression states has enabled the study of material properties and equations of state at unprecedented pressure and temperature conditions. By carefully designing ...
