No chemical reaction or energy transfer process can take place without electrons, as they are responsible for forming and breaking chemical bonds. Therefore, to control and manipulate chemical ...

At any temperature, the particles (atoms and molecules) of a substance, in this case a gas, move at different speeds. If energy is added by heating, the particles move faster. If energy is removed by ...

Scientists have transformed light into a supersolid, a breakthrough merging solid and liquid properties in quantum physics.

To moving particles, the electric field appears as a strong magnetic field (~10 3 Tesla), enabling photons to convert into axions, and back again. An opaque titanium sheet inserted between the ...

Physicists use mathematical assumptions in many situations that forbid time from moving backwards – but that isn’t necessarily a reflection of quantum reality ...

In the future, the technique could be scaled down to precisely move particles the size of cells for experiments, or scaled up to guide boats along a desired path on the water. A team of ...

Could the cosmos be dominated by particles that move faster than the speed of light? This model of the universe agrees surprisingly well with observations, a pair of physicists has discovered.

He placed cathode tubes in electric and magnetic fields. He knew that these fields will move particles from side to side, but don't have much effect on how a wave moves. In his experiments ...

They have a fixed shape and cannot flow The particles cannot move from place to place They cannot be compressed (squashed) The particles are close together and have no space to move into Have ...

TULELA: Solids have a fixed shape and fixed volume and cannot be compressed because in this model, there is no space for the particles to move into. Let’s add some energy to the solid.
