Investigating solar corona structures has led Paul Bellan, Caltech professor of applied physics, and his former graduate student Yang Zhang (Ph.D. '24) to discover a new equilibrium state of the ...

Constructing out-of-equilibrium molecular assemblies that deviate from thermodynamic equilibrium is a central challenge in materials science. While numerous studies have reported the creation of such ...

Layered hybrid perovskites show diverse physical properties and exceptional functionality; however, from a materials science viewpoint, the co-existence of lattice order and structural disorder can ...

Scientists have discovered a method to transform mesoscopic molecular assemblies into dimensionally distinct out-of-equilibrium structures. (Nanowerk News) Constructing out-of-equilibrium molecular ...

Driving systems out of equilibrium with electric fields proves useful for creating liquid shapes that are nearly impossible to find in nature. When two substances are brought together, they will ...

Out-of-equilibrium states that deviate from thermodynamic equilibrium are crucial not only for biological systems but also for designing synthetic functional materials. Researchers identified how ...
