Physicists studied crystals made of rotating objects that fragment easily, show unusual defects, and follow a new theory predicting their unique behavior. (Nanowerk News) Physicists from Aachen, ...

It sounds bizarre, but they exist: crystals made of rotating objects. Physicists from Aachen, Düsseldorf, Mainz and Wayne State (Detroit, U.S.) have jointly studied these exotic objects and their ...

Light-operated molecular machines can be used to rotate objects much bigger than themselves but at larger scales, they stop rotating once they reach the so-called photostationary state. By using a ...
