In a process analogous to how solids melt into liquids, the electrons in many different metals form crystal-like patterns ...

Physicists investigate the forces that deform red blood cells into asymmetric slipper shapes, and strive to learn how the deformation is important in blood flow and various blood flow-related diseases ...

What was found: Electron crystals in metals can deform and melt like solids, altering conductivity and opening new technological possibilities. Why it matters: Controlling these structures could ...

Research led by LMU's Joachim Rädler uncovers how cancer cell nuclei deform when migrating through narrow channels. Using synthetic microstructures and advanced microscopy, the study shows that ...
