During a routine set of experiments being conducted in the lab, Anthony Raykh, a graduate student at the University of ...

A team of researchers led by a physics graduate student at the University of Massachusetts Amherst made the surprising ...

With properties of a superfluid but with a crystalline structure, supersolids have previously only been observed in ultracold condensates—until now.

Researchers, led by graduate student Anthony Raykh, found that a mixture of oil, water, and magnetized nickel particles can form a specific shape—a curvaceous urn—that consistently reappears even ...

The focus is that matter, whether solid, liquid, or gas, is made up of particles; that dissolving and evaporation happen at the particle level; and that models can help explain these processes that we ...

A team of researchers from Switzerland and France and theoretical physicists in Canada and the U.S., including Rice University, believe they have found evidence of a theorized quantum phenomenon ...

The haze over parts of Florida from wildfires may not look dangerous, but it can cause severe reactions in some people. Here's what to watch for.

These materials combine properties of crystalline solids and ordinary liquids in unexpected ways, often possessing fluidity along with orientational order and varying degrees of positional order. The ...
