Granular metamaterials made of staple-shaped entangled particles interlock into load-bearing structures without adhesive, ...

When viruses travel through the air in tiny droplets, they can quickly start to dry out. Yet many viruses remain infectious after rehydration—something that is still not fully understood. Now, an ...

Scientists have found that staple-shaped particles can tangle together to create a material that is both strong and flexible.

Tensile loads of entangled materials can be carried through a small number of dynamic force chains, which continually break ...

Nanorobotic swarming concentrates photothermal particles into heat-retaining clusters, helping the same material outperform ...

Scientists have uncovered a surprising connection between quantum gravity and an exotic quantum state of matter that could ...

Noether's work helped prove the conservation of energy in physics, a key foundation for Einstein's theory of relativity ...

Nanyang Technological University, Singapore (NTU Singapore) scientists have used a classic optical phenomenon known as the Poisson spot to create stable patterns of light called optical skyrmions, ...

CERN explained simply — why it was built after World War II, how the Large Hadron Collider smashes protons at near light ...

A dark point inside a beam of light should not be much of a traveler. Yet in a new experiment, some of those points appeared ...
