Just as flight simulators can offer a trainee pilot insight into what it might be like to fly an aeroplane in real life, quantum simulators help physicists to understand the complex quantum behaviour ...

Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society of London. Series A, Containing Papers of a Mathematical or Physical Character The Royal Society is a self-governing Fellowship of many of the world's ...

Observing the behavior of the particles in the composite metals helps to understand the mechanism of losing its strength and ductility, which makes possible to design the composites metals with higher ...

Belgian scientists have used a particle physics theory to describe the behaviour of particle-like entities, referred to as excitons, in two layers of graphene, a one-carbon-atom-thick honeycomb ...

In work that unmasks some of the magic behind memristors and 'resistive random access memory,' or RRAM -- cutting-edge computer components that combine logic and memory functions -- researchers have ...

When we think of particles, we tend to think of them as real objects – tiny, point-like entities with definite properties such as position or speed. But particles are really just energetic spikes in ...

One of the biggest mysteries in physics is why there's matter in the universe at all. This week, a group of physicists at the world's largest atom smasher, the Large Hadron Collider, might be closer ...

One of the biggest issues facing the solid-state lithium-based batteries we all depend upon is of the performance of the anode; the transport of lithium ions and minimization of dendrite formation are ...
