It sounds bizarre, but they exist: crystals made of rotating objects. Physicists from Aachen, Düsseldorf, Mainz and Wayne State (Detroit, U.S.) have jointly studied these exotic objects and their ...

Many of the nation’s fire departments and rescue squads provide technical rescue services to their respective communities. Working in the world of rescue, a member understands that rescue is the ...

Physicists studied crystals made of rotating objects that fragment easily, show unusual defects, and follow a new theory predicting their unique behavior.

Researchers have detailed the physics behind a phenomenon that allows them to create spin in liquid droplets using ultrasound waves, which concentrates solid particles suspended in the liquid. The ...

Physicists in California have observed true quantum behaviour in a macroscopic object big enough to be seen with the naked eye. This is the first time this feat has been achieved and it could shed ...

Where the information comes from: In the experimental part of the work, the researchers placed Teflon objects (orange cylinders) in a waveguide with a rectangular cross-section. They then injected an ...
