Tangled chains lead to shear thickening Simulations showing the emergence of chains of particles in a suspension. The image on the left shows isolated chains in a suspension with a relatively low ...

The nonlinear optical process of high-order harmonic generation is usually seen in atomic gases. Now, the process has been observed in a bulk crystalline solid, with important implications for ...

Science and technology could be revolutionized by quantum computers, but building them from solid-state devices will not be easy. Robert W Keyes of IBM's research division outlines the challenges in ...

scope and states of condensed matter physics: "More is Different" "standard model" of solid state physics band structure: insulators and conductors experimental probes ...

A proposed form of ice acts like a cross between a solid and a liquid. Now, a new study strengthens the case that the weird state of matter really exists. Normal ice is composed of water molecules, ...
