Quantum mechanics is extremely successful at describing the behavior of matter at the atomic level. This success forces one to accept that certain aspects of physical reality go far beyond our ...

Researchers made small, pure samples of the elusive mineral lonsdaleite – also known as hexagonal diamond — and tested its material properties to show it's harder than diamond. When you purchase ...

Optical vortices—light beams carrying orbital angular momentum (OAM)—are characterized by helical wavefronts and phase singularities. While they have been widely studied in recent decades, two ...

Materials science is an interdisciplinary field concerned with the understanding and application of the properties of matter. Materials scientists study the connections between the underlying ...

Immersive courses. Engaged faculty. Inspired scholars. These are the heart of Miami University’s diverse arts and science curriculum. The College of Arts and Science (CAS) fosters a climate that ...

Qubits or quantum bits are the fundamental building block for quantum information processes. Whereas conventional computers store and process data as a series of ‘1’s and ‘0’s, quantum computers use ...

The job would consist of 1 and a half days of work a month to record four long form videos (sub 15 minutes). Scripts are provided and the person need only to read from a teleprompter. The videos will ...
