The combination of different phases of water—solid ice, liquid water, and water vapor—would require some effort to achieve experimentally. For instance, if you wanted to place ice next to vapor, you would have to continuously ...

(Phys.org)—A trio of researchers has uploaded a paper they've written to the preprint server arXiv describing a way to improve recommendation engines, using principles from particle physics. The idea, they say, is to use ...
No earlier theory had envisioned that the responses would be so large! Scientists "poked" three crystals with pulses of light. Unexpectedly, the crystals exhibited the largest nonlinear optical response of any known crystal. ...
