The "death date" of the universe has been predicted by a new theory that suggests that the universe might not continue to ...

Collapsing energy bands to explore their geometric structure Date: June 1, 2016 Source: Max Planck Institute of Quantum Optics ... We now know, however, that traditional band theory is incomplete.

A new theory invokes the common rubber band in an attempt to explain dark energy, a mysterious force causing the universe to expand at an ever-increasing pace.

To construct a band theory that accounts for the global momentum-space structure of energy bands, we piece together groups of bands from distinct points in the Brillouin zone.

In band theory a material’s energy levels are thought of as being contained in sheetlike bands hovering above the materials they belong to.

Channai and Canadian researchers presented a theory for LK99 superconductivity. They have presented a couple of scenarios, keeping solid state and quantum chemical constraints in mind and suggested ...
