Physicists convert beams of light into frictionless supersolid, first step toward advanced quantum materials and future ...

Dark matter. The invisible glue that holds the universe together. While it is one of the most intriguing concepts in our ...

Condensed-matter physics is the study of substances in their solid state. This includes the investigation of both crystalline solids in which the atoms are positioned on a repeating three ...

Dark matter may have started as light-like particles that abruptly became heavy—a cosmic twist rooted in spin and ...

Indeterminacy, as in the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle, overturns the old, classical idea of a perfectly predictable, ...

A new study published in Physical Review Letters has introduced a new form of the classic Ising model that, by incorporating ...

Among the quasicrystals that have sparked significant interest among the physics community ... (i.e., states of matter with a crystalline order that combine some properties of solids and superfluids).

In physics, a phase transition is a transformation of a substance from one form to another. They happen everywhere, from ...

MIT physicists have taken the first-ever direct images of individual atoms interacting freely in space. Their findings, ...

Researchers demonstrated a way to manipulate electrons in graphene using pulses of light that last less than one thousands ...

solid-state, materials, and device physics; and soft matter and biological physics. At RIT you don’t just study these areas, you work directly with faculty conducting research. The School of Physics ...
