A new study shows how to couple highly accurate and simplified models of the same system to extract thermodynamics information using simulations. Computer simulations are used to understand the ...

Download the experiment instructions HERE! Let’s learn about the properties of liquids and solids: Solids are not compressible, they’re rigid, they don’t flow, and their particles are packed close ...

Berry curvature may not be the most well-known scientific concept, but to many physicists, its direct measurement is something akin to a holy grail. A powerful unifying principle in several branches ...

Physicists have found that large-amplitude acoustic waves, launched by ultrashort laser pulses, can dynamically manipulate the optical response of semiconductors. One of the main challenges in ...

Computer simulations are used to understand the properties of soft matter--such as liquids, polymers and biomolecules like DNA -which are too complicated to be described by equations. They are often ...
