The first phase of the European Union’s groundbreaking new digital rules will take effect this week. Which platforms are affected? What’s changing? And what about the rest of the world? LONDON — Google, Facebook, TikTok an.....»»
Researchers reveal electronic nematicity without charge density waves in titanium-based kagome metal
Electronic nematic order in kagome materials has thus far been entangled with charge density waves. Now it is finally observed as a stand-alone phase in a titanium-based Kagome metal, a team of researchers led by Boston College physicists reported re.....»»
When proteins get stuck at the solid phase: Unlocking the secrets to brain diseases
Many diseases affecting the brain and nervous system are linked to the formation of protein aggregates, or solid condensates, in cells from their liquid form condensate, but little is known about this process......»»

Stabilizing precipitate growth at grain boundaries in alloys
Materials are often considered to be one phase, but many engineering materials contain two or more phases, improving their properties and performance. These two-phase materials have inclusions, called precipitates, embedded in the microstructure......»»
Scientists theorize a hidden phase transition between liquid and a solid
Anything made out of plastic or glass is known as an amorphous material. Unlike many materials that freeze into crystalline solids, the atoms and molecules in amorphous materials never stack together to form crystals when cooled. In fact, although we.....»»
Simulations reveal "unprecedented details" of a star"s evolutionary phase
Scientists have conducted the first ever 3D simulation of a star's entire evolutionary phase thanks to new simulation technologies......»»
New technique measures structured light in a single shot
Structured light waves with spiral phase fronts carry orbital angular momentum (OAM), attributed to the rotational motion of photons. Recently, scientists have been using light waves with OAM, and these special "helical" light beams have become very.....»»
