The vibrations of atoms in a crystal generate one type of rotation, an intrinsic spin-like trait called angular momentum. For ...

Scientists have directly watched angular momentum move through a crystal for the very first time — and discovered a bizarre ...

The colours in this newly discovered phase of liquid crystal shift as researchers apply a small electric field. Credit: SMRC Physicists at the University of Colorado Boulder have become the first to ...

Within a crystal's atomic structure, tiny atomic-scale flaws will naturally occur where electrons can become trapped. These defects have emerged as one of the leading platforms for quantum information ...

Preliminary studies of the highly polar organic molecule DIO revealed a mysterious liquid crystal phase between the nematic and ferroelectric nematic phases. X-ray diffraction studies showed that this ...

A new form of matter has been discovered after two groups of scientists took predictions of elusive physical properties and, individually, went and proved them. Time crystal sounds like a fantasy ...
