The discovery of phosphorus and fluorine in solid dust particles collected from the inner coma of comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko. That comet orbits the sun every 6.5 years.

Suspensions are widespread in industry and everyday life. By a suspension, materials scientists mean a liquid in which tiny, ...

Explore the fundamental concept of matter in physics, everything that makes up the physical world around us. Matter is not ...

Lots of materials are solid, such as paper, bricks, wood, metal, and ice. The particles in solids are very close together, therefore they cannot usually be compressed or squashed.

Aside from the regular arrangement of particles, crystalline solids have several other characteristic properties. They are generally incompressible, meaning they cannot be compressed into smaller ...

Metal particles in solids aren't as fixed as they seem, new memristor study shows Peer-Reviewed Publication. University of Michigan. ANN ARBOR ... Lu, who led the project, ...

IN this paper are given the results of some observations made while on the Rigi in May last, on the solid and liquid particles in clouds. It was noticed, when making observations on the number of ...

Quantum entanglement achieved in solid-state circuitry Date: January 12, 2010 Source: American Physical Society Summary: Physicists have finally managed to demonstrate quantum entanglement of ...

Inside most materials, little is moving. But a new "active nanocomposite" is teeming with motion: small particles connect or separate, thus changing the color of the entire material. It was made ...

For the first time, physicists have convincingly demonstrated that physically separated particles in solid-state devices can be quantum-mechanically entangled. The achievement is analogous to the ...
