Why does water roll off a duck's back but spread on clean glass? For macroscopic (millimeter-scale) drops, this behavior can ...

Quantum technologies are radically transforming our understanding of the universe. One emerging technology is macroscopic mechanical oscillators, devices that are vital in quartz watches, mobile ...

If a tree falls in the forest and someone is there to hear it, does it make a sound? Perhaps not. As macroscopic observers, we can say three things about reality. If you see an event happening, it ...

Be fast, avoid light, and roll through a curvy ramp: This is the recipe for a pioneering experiment proposed by theoretical physicists in a recent paper published in Physical Review Letters. An object ...

Organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) have been widely studied because of their various advantages. OLEDs are multi-layered structures consisting of organic and inorganic materials arranged in a ...

Quantum physics concerns a world of infinitely small things. But for years, researchers have been attempting to observe the properties of quantum physics on a larger scale, even macroscopic. Quantum ...

The formation of macroscopic assemblies based on molecular recognition is promising in a wide variety of fields of materials science. Switching of the selectivity of macroscopic assemblies is of ...

A new framework shows how lost information in quantum systems gives rise to macroscopic entropy and the arrow of time Water ripples (Courtesy: Shutterstock/Ken Schulze) In the macroscopic world, we ...

When two solid surfaces come into contact with each other, friction acts to prevent their relative motion, but the ability to reduce this friction to nearly zero is called structural superlubricity.

Independent validation of the 2002 UICC TNM staging system for papillary renal cell carcinoma in a multicenter cohort No significant financial relationships to disclose. This is an ASCO Meeting ...

Be fast, avoid light, and roll through a curvy ramp: This is the recipe for a pioneering experiment proposed by theoretical physicists. An object evolving in a potential created through electrostatic ...
