Proceedings of the Royal Society of London. Series A, Mathematical and Physical Sciences, Vol. 286, No. 1404 (May 25, 1965), pp. 79-97 (19 pages) A method is propounded for describing the state of ...

Observing the behavior of the particles in the composite metals helps to understand the mechanism of losing its strength and ductility, which makes possible to design the composites metals with higher ...

Six pairs of atoms in the focus of a laser beam. (Courtesy: Jonas Ahlstedt/Lund University Bioimaging Centre (LBIC)) An ensemble of just six atoms displays all the signatures of a phase transition ...

A study reveals that the behavior of one type of three-particle cluster displays a distinct relationship with the ratio between the masses of its particles. A study reveals that the behavior of one ...

Belgian scientists have used a particle physics theory to describe the behaviour of particle-like entities, referred to as excitons, in two layers of graphene, a one-carbon-atom-thick honeycomb ...

Phonons are sound particles or quantized vibrations of atoms in solid materials. The Debye model, a theory introduced by ...

Scientists are a step closer to creating quantum computers after making light behave like crystal. The research team made the discovery by inventing a machine that uses quantum mechanics to make ...

When we think of particles, we tend to think of them as real objects – tiny, point-like entities with definite properties such as position or speed. But particles are really just energetic spikes in ...

One of the biggest mysteries in physics is why there's matter in the universe at all. This week, a group of physicists at the world's largest atom smasher, the Large Hadron Collider, might be closer ...
