Ever wonder how Earth scientists examine rocks? We cut them up and throw them under a microscope ... and then everything ...

This specialized golf ball looks and feels smooth, but a close examination under a standard light microscope reveals tiny ...

In a new paper, Jordan Jensen and Alexis Ault introduce a new forensic tool designed to enhance our understanding of how ...

In their ongoing efforts to push the boundaries of quantum possibilities, physicists in Arts & Sciences at Washington ...

The film provides an introduction to crystal growth and structure, focusing on sodium chloride (common salt) as a primary example. It details the process of crystal formation under a microscope, ...

The condition of the grass on a golf course can drastically skew the chances of a winning putt regardless of a player’s skill. Now, a coating that soaks up water molecules could slow the roll of a ...

Physicists at Washington University have forged ahead in the field of quantum mechanics by creating a new phase of matter ...

Now, the team believes that because time crystals and quasicrystals are sensitive to quantum forces like magnetism, they could serve as long-lasting quantum sensors that never need recharging. This, ...

In a first, physicists have directly seen Hofstadter’s butterfly—a long-sought-after fractal in the quantum realm ...

Time crystals are like a clock that never needs ... Zu and colleagues used a similar approach to build a quantum diamond microscope. The time quasicrystals are made up of more than a million ...

Quantum physicists have created a new phase of matter inside a diamond. Their new "time quasicrystal" is special as it is ...
