Sometimes, even the simplest things can set off a quantum phenomenon.

Exotic states of matter known as time crystals are largely considered a quantum phenomenon. Now, a team from New York ...

“Our system is remarkable because it’s incredibly simple,” said paper author and physicist David Grier of New York University ...

A strange form of matter called a time crystal has fascinated physicists for about a decade. These systems move in repeating cycles, even without a steady external push.

Mathematicians and engineers at the University of Utah have teamed up to show how ultrasound waves can organize carbon particles in water into a sort of pattern that never repeats. The results, they ...

Kelvin wakes: patterns seen in cleaved silicon resemble the wakes made by these boats. (Courtesy: Arpingstone) Unwanted roughness on cleaved silicon surfaces is created by an acoustic effect that is ...

Mathematicians and engineers have teamed up to show how ultrasound waves can organize carbon particles in water into a sort of pattern that never repeats. The results, they say, could result in ...
