Scientists unveil a solid electrolyte that moves lithium as fast as liquids, promising safer, fast-charging batteries.

For more than a century, schoolbook physics has divided matter into neat categories like solid, liquid, gas, and plasma. A ...

Physicists have finally filmed a crystal as it melts and discovered that, under the right conditions, it refuses to behave ...

Qubits can be made by floating a suspended electron over a pool of liquid helium rather than being embedded them a solid-state crystal — which leads to impurities and errors. When you purchase through ...

Writer and occasional reluctant perpetrator of engine swaps, James O'Neil is a malaise era enthusiast and also fascinated by the many ways the auto industry has since recovered from those dark days.

New research offers clearer insight into how phase transitions unfold at the atomic scale in real materials. When ice turns into water, the change happens almost instantly. Once the melting ...

Tokyo, Japan – Unwanted heating of electronic components hinders the performance of many devices. For example, the processing speed and memory available to silicon-based computer chips depend strongly ...

Under the right circumstances, electrons can actually “freeze” into a bizarre solid form. Now, physicists at Berkeley Lab have created and taken the first ever direct images of this structure. At low ...
