The measurement problem in quantum mechanics looks at how an experimental outcome changes, simply by observing it.

Ice can generate electricity when bent, a process called flexoelectricity. The discovery connects to lightning formation and ...

A study co-led by ICN2 reveals that ice is a flexoelectric material, meaning it can produce electricity when unevenly deformed. Published in Nature Physics, this discovery could have major ...

The results of the study were published in the journal Nature Physics. “It is amazing that there is so much to do on just a single layer of graphene even after 20 years of discovery,” Arindam Ghosh, ...

As Homer Simpson once famously phrased, “ in this house we obey the laws of thermodynamics ,” but a new and completely unexpected discovery by a student at the University of Massachusetts Amherst runs ...

Graphene is an extraordinary material—a sheet of interlocking carbon atoms just one atom thick that is stable and extremely conductive. This makes it useful in a range of areas, such as flexible ...

Don’t mess with ice. When it’s stressed, ice can get seriously sparky. Scientists have discovered that ordinary ice—the same substance found in iced coffee or the frosty sprinkle on mountaintops—is ...

The positions in the table below reflect the Institute for Theoretical and Experimental Physics's position overall, domestically, within their sector, and in various subject areas based on their Share ...
