Researchers from Germany and Singapore have studied a non-equilibrium state of Fermi liquids called the Floquet Fermi liquid (FFL), which is formed when Fermi liquids are subjected to a periodic driving force and kept in ...
Although windows can naturally heat buildings in the cold seasons, some hot sunny days might make you wish that windows would just go away. Scientists from Japan have recently designed new technology that will make windows ...
(Phys.org) —In a move that would make the Alchemists of King Arthur's time green with envy, scientists have unraveled the formula for turning liquid cement into liquid metal. This makes cement a semi-conductor and opens up ...
