A scientist gives an answer to a long-standing question in theoretical glass physics: what does it mean to be an order parameter for an inherently out-of-equilibrium system? Starting from first ...

“Finding new states with exotic physical properties—and being able to understand and control the transitions between those states—are central problems in the fields of condensed matter ...

The Condensed Matter and Materials Physics (CMMP) group has funding to support a number of undergraduate students in summer research projects. The projects cover experimental, theoretical, and ...

Two scientists at the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) Brookhaven National Laboratory have discovered a new phase of matter while studying a model system of a magnetic material. Researchers at ...

My colleagues and I have also developed novel plans for experiments that can search for this type of dark matter. These experiments use techniques from condensed matter physics to attempt to ...
