A new study shows how to couple highly accurate and simplified models of the same system to extract thermodynamics information using simulations. Computer simulations are used to understand the ...

Download the experiment instructions HERE! Let’s learn about the properties of liquids and solids: Solids are not compressible, they’re rigid, they don’t flow, and their particles are packed close ...

Glassy states represent a fascinating class of disordered materials in which atoms or molecules are frozen into non-crystalline arrangements. Their vibrational properties differ markedly from those of ...

Berry curvature may not be the most well-known scientific concept, but to many physicists, its direct measurement is something akin to a holy grail. A powerful unifying principle in several branches ...

A recent NSR paper measures mechanical properties of solids as a function of both crystalline grain size and grain-boundary thickness The world of solid materials is not composed solely of perfectly ...
