Surface properties play a decisive role in defining the behaviour of condensed matter, underlying phenomena as diverse as capillarity, adhesion, catalysis and electrical conduction. At the molecular ...

Condensed matter physics explores the emergent phenomena that arise from the collective interactions among an immense number of electrons, ions and other quasiparticles within solids and liquids. By ...

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 ...
