For the past 40 years, Fan has been deeply immersed in the development of microdisplay technology. In 1985, he left his ...

In the ebb and flow of crowded crosswalks, a surprising pattern emerges: people can naturally form neat lanes of movement.

Mathematicians studied the flow of human crowds and developed a way to predict when pedestrian paths will transition from orderly to entangled. Their findings may help inform the design of public ...

Metals, as most know them, are good conductors of electricity. That's because the countless electrons in a metal like gold or ...

The Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider, a U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Office of Science user facility for nuclear physics research at DOE’s Brookhaven National Laboratory, entered its 25th and final ...

Christopher Chyba held a hollow, dark cylinder made of manganese, zinc, and iron in his Princeton lab, looking skeptically at ...

The Analyzer for Cusp Electrons (ACE) is designed to measure electron activity in the region of the northern magnetospheric ...

Discover the groundbreaking transformation of light into a supersolid, a unique state of matter that exhibits both solid and ...

Scientists have unlocked a way to read magnetic orientation at record-breaking speeds using terahertz radiation. Modern hard ...

Market-driven deployment of inexpensive (but intermittent) renewable energy sources, such as wind and solar, in the electric power grid necessitates grid-stabilization through energy storage systems ...

One promising solution comes from an unusual effect called nonreciprocal electronic transport, where electric current flows more easily in one direction than the other. This one-way electric flow ...
