A special type of laser spectroscopy has been used by researchers in Australia to measure the velocities of atoms in caesium vapour. The technique could allow researchers to infer both the temperature ...

Researchers at Peking University and collaborators have revealed evidence of Mott insulator with thermally induced melting ...

Melting gold normally requires temperatures upwards of 1,064° C (1,947° F), but physics is never quite that simple. A team of researchers has now found a way to melt gold at room temperature using an ...

Ever since the fundamental laws of thermodynamics were formulated and the concepts of temperature and entropy properly understood, the realization of increasingly ordered states of matter — a coveted ...

Free flow: Burkard Hillebrands of the University of Kaiserslautern and colleagues say they have detected the first ever supercurrent at room temperature, but certain peers are sceptical of the results ...

Physicist PETER SKYBA has been named Slovakia's Scientist of 2019. The Slovak expert received this honour for his achievements in the study of the properties of substances at very low temperatures, in ...

For decades, scientists quested after a room-temperature superconductor. Now that they’ve finally found one, the hunt is on for an even better material. Until last year, all known superconductors — ...

Drexel University's master's (MS) and doctoral (PhD) degrees in Physics offer students a comprehensive graduate education and the opportunity to engage in leading scientific research. Faculty in the ...
