The techniques used to study various forms of soft condensed matter can be applied to living systems, but there are differences in the approaches of physicists and biologists, say Wilson Poon, Tom ...

Feynman diagrams are a powerful tool in condensed matter physics. By turning highly complex equations into sets of simple diagrams, the method has established itself as one of the sharpest tools in a ...

Researchers have developed nanoscale display cases that enables new atomic-scale views of hard-to-study chemical and biological samples. Researchers at the Department of Energy's Lawrence Berkeley ...

ONE necessary stage in the learning of physical chemistry is that in which the crystalline state is represented as one of perfect order-one molecule to each lattice point, only disturbed by the ...

Researchers at Google Quantum AI have used their Willow quantum computer to help interpret data from Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) spectroscopy, a mainstay of chemistry and biology research. The ...

SPaDe-CSP first predicts most probable space groups and crystal densities using machine learning and then employs an efficient neural network potential for structure refinement. Prediction of crystal ...

Physicists in the US have moved a step closer to controlling the electronic properties of individual molecules in a condensed matter environment. Michael Crommie and colleagues at the University of ...
