The first observation of a material exhibiting a supersolid phase of matter
Through experimental research, a team of physicists affiliated with multiple institutions in China has observed a material in a supersolid phase of matter for the first time. In their paper published in the journal Nature, the group describes the exp.....»»
Researcher suggests that gravity can exist without mass, mitigating the need for hypothetical dark matter
Dark matter is a hypothetical form of matter that is implied by gravitational effects that can't be explained by general relativity unless more matter is present in the universe than can be seen. It remains virtually as mysterious as it was nearly a.....»»
Scientists develop fatigue-free ferroelectric material

Gravitational waves and the geometry of spacetime
When speaking of our universe, it's often said that "matter tells spacetime how to curve, and curved spacetime tells matter how to move." This is the essence of Albert Einstein's famous general theory of relativity, and describes how planets, stars,.....»»

Molecular stop signal identified: The surveillance system of cell division
Several million cells divide every second in our bodies. During nuclear division (mitosis), the genetic material must be distributed correctly and completely between the daughter cells—errors in this process can lead to defective developments or ge.....»»
Towards next-gen functional materials: Nanotube crystal enables direct observation of electron transfer in solids
Electron transfer (ET) is a process in which an electron is transferred from one atom or molecule to another. ET is fundamental to electrochemical reactions with applications in many fields. Nanoscale ET, which involves the transfer of electrons in t.....»»
