Researchers at the University of Konstanz have uncovered a new mechanism of sliding friction: resistance to motion that ...

Physicists have for the first time observed light drifting sideways in discrete, quantized steps, reproducing a quantum Hall effect that was previously seen only in electrons confined to ultra-thin ...

Researchers have captured the first direct, momentum-resolved evidence that certain lattice vibrations carry measurable magnetic signatures, using neutron spectroscopy on a specially engineered ...

In most conventional semiconductors, thermal conductivity decreases as temperature rises because heat-carrying lattice vibrations—called phonons—scatter more frequently.
