A new technique for generating solid fibers from a liquid jet is easier to model—and thus easier to control—than past methods ...

The shape of gold nanostructures changes depending on how they are imaged. This electron-microscope image shows a nanosized cube wrapped in a gold layer. The tiny package is the result of reactions ...

Researchers have proposed that long-range molecular dipole correlations alter water’s electrical properties when it’s ...

Researchers observe atoms trapped in an optical lattice mimicking particles created in a strong electric field.

The discovery of a thermal version of the Hall effect in common semiconductors challenges our understanding of how magnetic ...

Pairs of photons provide a gentle way to measure the impact of a molecule’s environment on its ultrafast dynamics.

A pattern of surface waves bestowed with fivefold symmetry hosts topological structures. Soon after quasicrystals made their debut in 1984, physicists realized that the ordered, nonrepeating ...
