Physicists may have just cracked open a hidden side of the quantum world. For decades, every known particle was thought to ...

A new study by researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) now bridges the gap between quantum and classical physics. The work demonstrates that mathematical ideas from classical ...

Phonons are sound particles or quantized vibrations of atoms in solid materials. The Debye model, a theory introduced by physicist Peter Debye in 1912, describes the contribution of phonons to the ...

One of the biggest issues facing the solid-state lithium-based batteries we all depend upon is of the performance of the anode; the transport of lithium ions and minimization of dendrite formation are ...

What if particles don't slow down in a crowd, but move faster? Physicists from Leiden worked together and discovered a new state of matter, where particles pass on energy through collisions and create ...
