Almost 100 years ago, a revolutionary discovery was made in the field of physics: microscopic matter exhibits wave properties. Over the decades, more and more precise experiments have been used to ...

A better understanding of the inner workings of neutron stars will lead to a greater knowledge of the dynamics that underpin the workings of the universe and also could help drive future technology. A ...

An interdisciplinary study on the properties of waves in symmetric metamaterials, or materials engineered to have properties that do not occur naturally, is set to unlock a new area of physics with a ...
