It won’t make its way into quantum computers, but it could help us understand why the universe is filled with matter.

A groundbreaking experiment--reveals 'symmetry' in physics doesn't always behave as scientists once believed. Mississippi State Professor of Physics Dipangkar Dutta is a principal investigator on ...

Scientists have discovered a new quantum state, called quantum liquid crystal, which appears to offer characteristics that ...

If you rotate an image of a molecular structure, a human can tell the rotated image is still the same molecule, but a machine ...

Scientists have discovered a new way that matter can exist—one that is different from the usual states of solid, liquid, gas ...

Scientists have learned that they can intentionally cause symmetry breaking — or symmetry restoration — in quantum dots to create new materials with unique properties. In a recent study, researchers ...

Meanwhile, at the Advanced Photon Source (APS), a DOE Office of Science user facility at Argonne, they conducted ultrafast total X-ray scattering experiments using Beamline 11-ID-D to study ...
