Charge density waves (CDWs) are ordered, crystal-like patterns in the arrangement of electrons that spontaneously form inside ...

Crystallization is a well-explored natural phenomenon where atoms or molecules arrange themselves into highly organized solid ...

Researchers have investigated the non-equilibrium phase behavior of localized liquid-liquid phase separations (LLPS). The ...

For more than a century, schoolbook physics has divided matter into neat categories like solid, liquid, gas, and plasma. A wave of recent experiments is now tearing at those boundaries, revealing ...

The ultrafast laser excitation of matters leads to nonequilibrium states with complex solid-liquid phase-transition dynamics. We used electron diffraction at mega–electron volt energies to visualize ...

This schematic illustrates the MALIO software, a machine learning structure analysis tool designed to analyze and distinguish the local structures of BP I and BP II liquid crystal phases. By ...

High school science misses a lot of the science researchers actually work with. For example, you learn that there are three states of matter—solid, liquid, and gas—but in advanced physics, things get ...
