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

Everything that has mass is matter. In normal everyday life we come across matter in three states, solid, liquid and gas. They have a fixed shape and cannot flow The particles cannot move from ...

A student playing around with fluids and magnetic materials in the lab may have accidentally found an "exception" to the laws ...

In a surprising twist, a graduate student at UMass Amherst discovered a strange new fluid behavior that seems to defy ...

The behaviour of liquids at an interface is an important physical problem with wide-ranging fundamental ... Beyond colloids we are interested in computational and theoretical solutions to a wide range ...

Students are introduced to the idea that matter is composed of atoms and molecules that are attracted to each other and in constant motion. Students explore the attractions and motion of atoms and ...

Spin liquids are a fascinating and elusive state of matter that has captivated the attention of physicists and material scientists. The term "liquid" in spin liquids draws an analogy to the fluid ...

Breakthroughs in the field of condensed matter physics have led to the discovery and use of liquid crystals, modern plastic and composite materials and the discovery of the Bose-Einstein Condensate.

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 ...

Our scientific interests encompass different branches of soft condensed matter and optical physics, including novel laser trapping and imaging techniques, molecular and colloidal self-assembly, ...

Physicists have, for the first time, seen a matter particle from the proton family behave in a fundamentally different way from its antimatter twin. The finding — which fits with behaviours ...
