Ever wonder why birds flock together? Or how molecules are organized in water compared to ice? Or if there are phases of matter besides the familiar solid, liquid and gas? These examples of emergent ...

This year marked the 25th year of the Boulder School for Condensed Matter and Materials Physics (BSS) which brings advanced graduate students, postdoctoral fellows and lecturers from around the world ...

Theoretical physicists have established a close connection between the two rapidly developing fields in theoretical physics, quantum information theory and non-invertible symmetries in particle and ...

Condensed matter physics examines the collective behaviour of vast assemblies of interacting particles in solids and liquids. It seeks to explain how the arrangement and quantum states of electrons ...

The Condensed Matter and Materials Research Committee (CMMRC) is responsible for advising the National Academies' Board on Physics and Astronomy on the fields of condensed matter science and materials ...

Describing natural phenomena with geometric language is one of the most important achievements of modern physics. In the context of general relativity, Einstein treats spacetime as a dynamic geometric ...
