For years, scientists in the field of molecular dynamics have been squeezed in their research. Traditional simulations that they have been using to track how atoms and molecules move through a system ...

Quantum spin liquids are fascinating states of matter where magnetic spins stay disordered, defying the usual rules of magnetism. Scientists have made an exciting discovery about one such material.

For almost as long as Lawrence Livermore has existed, scientists have been experimenting with materials to learn what happens to them under high pressure. In the brief instant of a high-explosive ...

Researchers have made a meaningful advance in the simulation of molecular electron transfer -- a fundamental process underpinning countless physical, chemical and biological processes. The study ...

Molecular Dynamics Simulations are grounded in classical mechanics, particularly Newton’s laws of motion, to predict how particles move within a system. The force acting on each atom is calculated ...

“Ferroelectric materials exhibit a rich range of complex polar topologies, but their study under far-from-equilibrium optical excitation has been largely unexplored because of the difficulty in ...

DURHAM, N.C. – Researchers at Duke University have implemented a quantum-based method to observe a quantum effect in the way light-absorbing molecules interact with incoming photons. Known as a ...

Atomic, molecular, and optical (AMO) physics is a foundational discipline within the physical sciences. It is the study of light and matter and their interactions, and deals with electrons, atoms, ...

(Nanowerk News) Quantum spin liquids (QSLs) are fascinating and mysterious states of matter that have intrigued scientists for decades. First proposed by Nobel laureate Philip Anderson in the 1970s, ...
