Feynman diagrams are a powerful tool in condensed matter physics. By turning highly complex equations into sets of simple diagrams, the method has established itself as one of the sharpest tools in a ...

The nuclei of most human cells contains the entire genome, which would have a length of about six feet if it was fully extended. So this DNA has to be carefully compacted in cells, while still ...

Soft condensed matter encompasses a wide array of systems—including colloids, polymers, liquid crystals, gels and emulsions—that exhibit mechanical responses intermediate between those of crystalline ...

A novel magnetic material with an extraordinary electronic structure might allow for the production of smaller and more efficient computer chips in the future: the p-wave magnet. Researchers from ...

A new research effort is accelerating imaging techniques to visualize structures of small molecules clearly -- a process once thought impossible. Their discovery unleashes endless potential in ...
