Ever wonder why birds flock together? Or how molecules are organized in water compared to ice? Or if there are phases of matter besides the familiar solid, liquid and gas? These examples of emergent ...

This year marked the 25th year of the Boulder School for Condensed Matter and Materials Physics (BSS) which brings advanced graduate students, postdoctoral fellows and lecturers from around the world ...

Condensed matter physics examines the collective behaviour of vast assemblies of interacting particles in solids and liquids. It seeks to explain how the arrangement and quantum states of electrons ...

Theoretical physicists have established a close connection between the two rapidly developing fields in theoretical physics, quantum information theory and non-invertible symmetries in particle and ...

Dark states are quantum states in which a system does not interact with external fields, such as light (i.e., photons) or electromagnetic fields. These states, which generally occur due to ...

Condensed-matter and materials physics (CMMP) is the science of the material world around us. From the dawn of civilization, curiosity about the natural world has led to questions about the character ...

The Condensed Matter and Materials Research Committee (CMMRC) is responsible for advising the National Academies' Board on Physics and Astronomy on the fields of condensed matter science and materials ...

In a significant development in the field of superconductivity, researchers have successfully achieved robust superconductivity in high magnetic fields using a newly created one-dimensional (1D) ...

Describing natural phenomena with geometric language is one of the most important achievements of modern physics. In the context of general relativity, Einstein treats spacetime as a dynamic geometric ...
