The world of quantum physics is already mysterious, but what happens when that strange realm of subatomic particles is put ...

Researchers in Germany have discovered that slipping on ice is caused by dipole interactions, not friction or temperature.

For nearly two centuries, scientists believed that ice becomes slippery because pressure or friction melts its surface. New ...

Research using the world's most energetic laser has shed light on the properties of highly compressed matter -- essential to understanding the structure of giant planets and stars, and to develop ...

The Laboratory for Integrated Science and Engineering, located at 11 Oxford Street, houses experimental physics labs. A team of Harvard and Boston University physicists developed a new tool to measure ...

With his bold claims of revolutionary room-temperature superconductors, physicist Ranga Dias of the University of Rochester in New York propelled the field of high-pressure physics into the spotlight.

This study presents 2D quantum sensors in diamond anvil cells, achieving high-resolution measurements of stress gradients and ...

Dr. Raimundas Sereika received his Ph.D. in condensed matter physics from Vilnius University in Lithuania in 2013 and has since worked as a Researcher and Lecturer. In 2016, he joined the Center for ...
