Anyons – the particle-like collective excitations that can exist in some 2D materials – tend to bunch together in a two-dimensional conductor. This behaviour, which has now been observed by physicists ...

Near the 100th anniversary of the discovery of ferroelectricity, so-called sliding ferroelectricity has been proposed and confirmed recently in a series of experiments that have stimulated remarkable ...

Laser cooling and trapping allow physicists to map the dynamics of every ion-atom encounter in a collision experiment. For many years atomic-collision experiments basically involved measuring the ...

This summer, the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) took a breath of fresh air. Normally filled with beams of protons, the 27-km ring was reconfigured to enable its first oxygen–oxygen and neon–neon ...

Every December, the Coleman group in Trinity College Dublin hosts an invitation-only, half-day conference on 2D and related materials. This conference covers the physics, chemistry, and material ...

IMAGINE firing needles across the Atlantic and getting them to collide halfway. That was the technical challenge facing engineers at the Large Hadron Collider this week as they prepared to smash ...

From the literature accompanying the disc: "The videodisc 'Physics and Automobile Collisions' is composed of high speed films which were taken to study various aspects of automobile collisions and ...
