At first, the photons settle into a state with zero momentum, but as this state 'fills up', pairs of photons begin to spill into the two adjacent states. This causes the polaritons to condense into ...

This ceramic-based mirror-image function of a conventional thermal switch instead electrically controls flow of thermal ...

For the first time, researchers transformed light into a quantum crystalline structure to create a "supersolid" that's both solid and liquid at the same time. Here’s what that means, and why it's such ...

Solid-state batteries are a hot topic because they ... conventional anode materials like graphite for a unique 3-D ceramic structure. This not only makes the batteries safer (since they don ...

The researchers posited that composite or quasi-solid-state electrolytes may be more viable alternatives. A recent study evaluating garnet-type solid electrolytes for lithium metal batteries finds ...

it walks the line between a crystalline and liquid state of matter. While it is a solid at room temperatures, it still allows lithium ions to travel as quickly through its molecular structure as ...

Condensed-matter physics is the study of substances in their solid state. This includes the investigation ... how fluorine influences the material’s structure and electronic properties.

Hyundai's solid-state battery plant could come online as ... in the US to continue to comply with the existing incentive structure.

New research reveals light can behave as a supersolid, paving the way for advancements in quantum computing and optical technologies. In a breakthrough, Italian scientists have successfully ...
