Physicists have upended a foundational law of materials science by heating gold to over 19,000°C — more than 14 times its ...

Adding energy to a group of ultracold atoms should make them fly away from each other with many different energies, but ...

UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. — Systems in the Universe trend toward disorder, with only applied energy keeping the chaos at bay. The concept is called entropy, and examples can be found everywhere: ice ...

It’s not easy to surprise physicists with a phase change. Yet when Tom White first reviewed the data from a new experiment that used lasers to heat gold, he had to pause and double-check his results.

SMU researchers develop high-entropy oxide (HEO) nanoribbons that can resist heat, corrosion, and other harsh conditions.
