Systems with long-range interactions—where pairwise potentials decay slowly with distance—exhibit striking departures from the conventional thermodynamic behaviour observed in short-range systems.

Scientists have created the first-ever atomic movies showing how atoms rearrange locally within a quantum material as it transitions from an insulator to a metal. With the help of these movies, the ...

The melting of materials seems like a simple phenomenon. However, when their thickness is reduced to just a few atoms, ...

Researchers in the Department of Theoretical Physics at Tata Institute of Fundamental Research (TIFR), Mumbai, have discovered that instead of manipulating every component or modifying interactions in ...

Interactions between atoms and light rule the behavior of our physical world, but at the same time, can be extremely complex.

(Nanowerk News) Scientists at Brookhaven National Laboratory have created the first-ever atomic movies showing how atoms rearrange locally within a quantum material as it transitions from an insulator ...
