Quasicrystals, exotic states of matter characterized by an ordered structure with non-repeating spatial patterns, have been ...

Emmy Noether was a mathematician who discovered perhaps the most profound idea in contemporary physics. Noether’s theorem, which she formulated in 1915, says that symmetries in the universe give ...

This establishes a close relationship between the two rapidly evolving fields of theoretical physics: quantum information ...

Protons minimize energy by forming pairs with opposite spin. Same for neutrons. Each pair acts like a particle in its own right. So nuclei act very differently depending on whether they have an even ...

Quasicrystals (QCs) are fascinating solid materials that exhibit an intriguing atomic arrangement. Unlike regular crystals, ...

Researchers have identified antiferromagnetism in a real icosahedral quasicrystal, reigniting interest in the quest to ...

Researchers at the University of the West of Scotland (UWS) have developed an innovative radiation detector module. The LaBr3 ...
