Physicists with the U.S. Department of Energy have discovered a new phase of matter—and, with apologies to George R. R. Martin, it's something of "a song of ice and fire." The new phase comes in the ...
Active matter: this microscope image shows part of a cluster of self-propelled particles, colour-coded according to their distance from the centre. (Courtesy: Jie Zhang, Ricard Alert, Jing Yan, Ned S ...
This movie gives an overview of the phase behavior observed in simulations of repulsive self-propelled spheres confined to a 2D surface. Each box corresponds to a separate, independent simulation. The ...
Preliminary studies of the highly polar organic molecule DIO revealed a mysterious liquid crystal phase between the nematic and ferroelectric nematic phases. X-ray diffraction studies showed that this ...
Scientists at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC), a user facility for nuclear physics research operated by the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Office of Science at DOE’s Brookhaven National ...
