Physicists have long been fascinated by the strange behavior of matter at a second-order phase transition, the razor-thin ...

Lattice parameters (a & c) of powdered, polycrystalline calcite in the trigonal-hexagonal system have been determined as a function of pressure and temperature using a hydrothermal diamond anvil cell ...

Optical lattice clocks are emerging timekeeping devices based on tens of thousands of ultracold atoms trapped in an optical lattice (i.e., a grid of laser light). By oscillating between two distinct ...
