The black squares represent one material and the white ... like a particle. Thus, objects behave as both particles and as waves. Field patterns may bridge the wave-particle duality.

A metamaterial is a composite material that exhibits unique properties due to its structure, and now researchers have used one featuring a small sawtooth pattern on its surface to move and position ...

They discover that the topological properties of quasicrystals come from periodic patterns in 4D, revolutionizing optics and ...

Boyden says everything from metal to quantum dots to DNA strands have patterns ... scale object is placed within a hydrogel (the more absorbent the better). The MIT scientists used a material ...

This new metamaterial responds to acoustic waves, letting researchers rotate and move objects with precision underwater.

Sound doesn’t just help us hear music or communicate underwater—it can also be used to move objects without physically ...

“When we place these tiny patterns on the surface of the objects, we can basically reflect the sound in any direction we want. And in doing that, we can control the acoustic force that is ...
