Supersolid is crystalline and superfluid at the same time.
MIT physicists have created a new form of matter, a supersolid, which combines...

The sight of propeller-like rotating blades positioned high up the pole of a tall horizontal-axis wind turbine (HAWT) may be familiar to many. Often grouped in wind farms, HAWTs provide significant amounts of energy for local communities. One...
These quantal metamaterial bricks form together to create a new super-material that can manipulate sound. Credit: Interact Lab, University of Sussex
A super-material that bends, shapes and focuses sound waves that pass through it has been invented by scientists.
The creation...

Tao's group, modified just one of DNA's iconic double helix chemical letters, abbreviated as A, C, T or G, with another chemical group, called anthraquinone (Aq). Anthraquinone is a three-ringed carbon structure that can be inserted in between DNA...
The new perovskite solar cells have achieved an efficiency of 20.1 per cent and can be manufactured at low temperatures, which reduces the cost and expands the number of possible applications.Credit: Kevin Soobrian

Routing of light in a liquid crystal by a magnetic field (B). The orientation of the field determines the orientation of rod-shaped molecules of the liquid crystal and defines direction of the light trajectory. This trajectory can be rapidly...
UChicago researchers achieved levitation of macroscopic objects between warm and cold plates in a vacuum chamber.Credit: Chicago Jean Lachat
Although scientists have been able to levitate specific types of material, a pair of UChicago undergraduate physics students helped take the...
Researchers have developed a new method of protein ligation, the joining of molecules with proteins. The technique, called Redox Activated Chemical Tagging (ReACT), involves the modification of proteins by attaching chemical cargos to the amino acid methionine. ReACT functions...
