Controlling light with light is a long-sought goal for computing and communication technologies. Achieving this capability ...

A micrometer-sized liquid crystal droplet doped with fluorescent dye functions as a nanosecond optical switch that controls light output using light alone. The resonant cavity design cuts the energy ...

Scientists observe a visible time crystal for the first time, revealing a phase of matter that repeats patterns through time.

For the first time, researchers in France and Israel have observed how an emulsified liquid droplet can transform from a ...

In a discovery that reshapes how scientists understand liquids, researchers have shown that microscopic oil droplets ...

MoS2 monolayers doped across the periodic table show p-type, n-type, metallic, and magnetic behavior, providing building ...

Lithium was supposed to be soft. The metal bends easily in bulk form, stretches before it breaks, and deforms the way you ...

Put “Alien” on standby — because science may be inching a tiny step closer to real-life cryosleep. In a breakthrough that ...

The computer-generated "ideal glass" solves a 75-year-old physics paradox and promises revolutionary materials.

Cryosleep’ remains the preserve of science fiction, but researchers are getting closer to restoring brain function after deep ...

Frozen mouse brain tissue regained activity after thawing in a new cryopreservation experiment, hinting at future medical possibilities.

Archaeologists now say that clumsy scribes have been resorting to white-out for at least 3,000 years.
