The erasure of women in science also marked Canadian scientist and U of T alumnus Maud Menten’s career. Frederick Banting, ...

Quantum mechanics is weird. When you think you have reached the bottom of its weirdness, you always discover a new ...

Earth’s inner core has long challenged researchers because seismic waves do not move through it uniformly. Compressional ...

Altermagnets are a newly recognized class of antiferromagnets whose magnetic structure behaves very differently from what is ...

Imaging technology has transformed how we observe the universe—from mapping distant galaxies with radio telescope arrays to ...

X-ray diffraction (XRD) is a powerful non-destructive analytical technique used to evaluate crystalline materials and determine their structural properties. As one of the most widely used ...

Optical dispersion occurs when the refractive index of a material changes with the wavelength of incoming light. This variation causes different colors to move at different speeds in transparent media ...

ABSTRACT: Similar to Harari’s proposal that all leptonic and baryonic matter is composed of four substructure fundamental particles and their antiparticles, T,V, T ˜ , V ˜ , we propose that the two ...

Pressure tuning of phase transitions is a powerful tool in condensed matter physics, permitting high-resolution studies while preserving fundamental symmetries. At the highest pressures, energy ...

The use of lasers to induce extreme compression states has enabled the study of material properties and equations of state at unprecedented pressure and temperature conditions. By carefully designing ...
