The types of glass that we encounter in everyday life, such as window glass or smartphone screens, are disordered solids. This means that they consist of particles locked in place, like those in ...

NYU scientists are using light to precisely control how tiny particles organize themselves into crystals. Their research, published in Chem, provides a simple and reversible method for forming ...

Scientists built a quantum gate linking four-state photons, showing complex quantum tasks can be done with fewer steps using qudits.

An 11-year-long survey of the particles and antiparticles near our sun is unlocking our solar system’s history – and raising new mysteries about the particles themselves. “It’s like when you walk into ...

Another theory held that the forces between two particles falls off exponentially in direct relationship to the distance between two particles and that the factor by which it drops is not dependent on ...

A pair of identical particles swapping places sounds like a small move. In quantum physics, it is a defining one.

Researchers at NYU have developed a way to use light to precisely direct how microscopic particles assemble into crystals. The findings, published today (February 24) in the Cell Press journal Chem, ...
