Using a novel surface-sensitive spectroscopy method, scientists explored atomic vibrations in crystalline material surfaces near interfaces. The findings illuminate quantum behaviors that play ...

Once thought impossible, quasicrystals revealed a hidden order that challenges our understanding of materials. Their ...

Is it possible to tile a surface with a single shape in such a way that the pattern never repeats itself? In 2022, a mathematical solution to this 'Einstein problem' was discovered for the first time.

This finding confirms that quasicrystals are shaped by hidden higher-dimensional physics, not just random patterns. A ...

From punch card-operated looms in the 1800s to modern cellphones, if an object has an "on" and an "off" state, it can be used ...
