Download the experiment instructions HERE! Let’s learn about the properties of liquids and solids: Solids are not compressible, they’re rigid, they don’t flow, and their particles are packed close ...

Physicists have found that large-amplitude acoustic waves, launched by ultrashort laser pulses, can dynamically manipulate the optical response of semiconductors. One of the main challenges in ...

Researchers explain the distinctive low-temperature thermal properties of glasses using molecular dynamics simulations. By focusing on string-like defects, they were able to create a unified ...

Most solid materials we rely on, from steel, to plastics and ceramics, are designed to have specific properties. Whether a material is soft and flexible, or stiff and tough depends on how molecules ...

Students will be able to plan and carry out an investigation to discover and compare the properties of liquids. Students will develop an understanding that liquids, like solids, have their own ...

This course introduces basic concepts of the quantum theory of solids and presents the theory describing the carrier behaviors in semiconductors. The course balances fundamental physics with ...
