By studying the knobby starfish, researchers have uncovered principles that could be used to develop strong, lightweight ceramic materials.

Turning off the superconductivity in a cuprate superconductor with light or magnetism produces a normal state with very similar fundamental physics.

A complex electrical ‘vortex’-like pattern discovered in ferroelectric materials mirrors a magnetic counterpart in ferromagnetic materials.

Researchers have revealed the formation mechanism for cerium oxide mesocrystals, showing they don't form in the same way as other crystals.

Researchers have cast doubt on an experimental approach for demonstrating the existence of axionic behavior in a Weyl semimetal.

Researchers have shown that arrays of nanocubes can both confine light in specific locations and allow tunable control of its energy.

Researchers have made a fundamental discovery about the atomic structure and vibrations in perovskite oxide superlattices.

Researchers have confirmed that cuprates make the transition to a superconducting state in two distinct steps at very different temperatures.

Near-infrared fluorescence emitted by microscopic crystals of silicon when illuminated with visible light can be used to detect cracks in concrete.
