Scientists have successfully achieved a quantum collective behavior of macroscopic mechanical oscillators, unlocking new ...

THE purpose of this communication is to report some interesting surface structures that formed on a boron surface upon solidification from the melt. Melting was accomplished by electrical ...

Twenty years ago, Richard Thompson, a marine biologist at the University of Plymouth, and his colleagues first used the term microplastic to describe the microscopic bits of plastic they were ...

Researchers have taken a novel approach to studying the interaction between certain topological metamaterials and sound wave ...

To appreciate the task of statistical mechanics, it is useful to contrast the following characteristics of the microscopic and macroscopic definitions of state: For macroscopic systems the microscopic ...

Recent advance in laser cooling technology has enabled us to cool millions of atoms close to absolute zero. This ultracold gas is an ideal testing ground for studying macroscopic quantum phenomena: ...

There is a bit of a paradox when it comes to miniaturization. When electronics replaced mechanical devices, it was often the case that the electronic version was smaller. When transistors and ...

Constraints acting at multiple levels and timescales replace the static and linear concept of risk factors, and the connectivity hypothesis brings an understanding of how the accumulation of ...

A microbiologist blends science and art to bring biofilms to life. His work, showcased in museums and books, captivates ...
