The machines are based on a type of matter known as optical matter in which metal nanoparticles are held together by light rather than the chemical bonds that hold together the atoms that make up ...

Researchers created an optical matter machine that operates much like a mechanical machine in which if one gear is turned, a smaller interlocking gear will spin in the opposite direction (a). The ...

Machine learning has emerged as a powerful tool in condensed matter physics, offering new perspectives on the exploration of quantum many-body systems, phase transitions and exotic states of matter.

(Nanowerk News) Researchers have developed a tiny new machine that converts laser light into work. These optically powered machines self-assemble and could be used for nanoscale manipulation of tiny ...
