Microscopic black holes have long hovered at the edge of theory, forming only in exquisitely balanced states. Now physicists ...

The space-time oddities of modern physics may have just been taken to a new level of odd, as researchers have revealed that space and time can be used to ...

A team from Vienna and Frankfurt has found a formula describing a strange phenomenon: Space and time can form a kind of "crystal" that may turn into a black hole. The results are described in Physical ...

A new chip-making technique exploits a material's crystal structure to create nanoscale patterns at room temperature directly ...

Researchers have recently found a new way to summon useful structures in magnetic materials using light, heat, and electric fields. This new method, described in a new study published in Physical ...

Within a crystal's atomic structure, tiny atomic-scale flaws will naturally occur where electrons can become trapped. These defects have emerged as one of the leading platforms for quantum information ...

For more than 100 years, scientists have been using X-ray crystallography to determine the structure of crystalline materials such as metals, rocks, and ceramics. This technique works best when the ...
