Electronic nematicity is a phase of some crystalline solids in which electrons' collective properties, such as charge or spin ...
Theorists address an experimental paradox by developing a general theory uniting a kind of order known as electronic ...
Stretchy ferroelectrics: a) A new ferroelectric material combines elasticity with relatively high crystallinity. b) The unstrained material. c) The elastic ferroelectric under 70% strain. (Courtesy: ...
Elastic collisions in one dimension are a clear example of physics in action, where both momentum and kinetic energy remain unchanged. With the right formulas, you can predict exactly how objects will ...
Researchers in the US have used a modified atomic force microscope to find the flexible regions of a protein. The motions of proteins can play important roles in their biological function and ...
Researchers at Friedrich-Alexander-Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg are developing light-controlled, shape-shifting materials by linking molecular machines into 3D structures. These intelligent materials ...
