The field of condensed matter physics explores the macroscopic and microscopic properties of matter. Condensed Matter physicists study how matter arises from a large number of interacting atoms and ...

The techniques used to study various forms of soft condensed matter can be applied to living systems, but there are differences in the approaches of physicists and biologists, say Wilson Poon, Tom ...

Time crystals break time-translational symmetry rather than spatial symmetry, as ordinary crystals do. Peter Hannaford and Krzysztof Sacha look at how this exotic state could have similar applications ...
