Crystallization is a well-explored natural phenomenon where atoms or molecules arrange themselves into highly organized solid ...

Quantum technologies are radically transforming our understanding of the universe. One emerging technology are macroscopic mechanical oscillators, devices that are vital in quartz watches, mobile ...

Researchers at TU Delft and Brown University have created string-like resonators that can vibrate longer at room temperature than any previously known solid-state device, reaching what is now only ...

Looks like we’re closer than ever to connecting general relativity and quantum mechanics. A new study suggests that when we break down spacetime into tiny discrete units, gravity, which is a ...

Statistical mechanics provides a rigorous framework for understanding how the collective behaviour of microscopic constituents gives rise to macroscopic phenomena. This discipline underpins our ...

In inertial confinement fusion, a capsule of fuel begins at temperatures near zero and pressures close to vacuum. When lasers compress that fuel to trigger fusion, the material heats up to millions of ...

For many decades the rock mechanics community has been tacitly assumed that a rock mass can be equated to the sum of fractures and intact rocks. Accordingly, the behaviour of a rock mass can be ...

CHINA, November 30, 2023 /EINPresswire.com/ -- In a recent paper published in the KeAi journal Rock Mechanics Bulletin, a scientist from Uppsala University presented ...
