In a quiet corner of low-temperature physics, researchers have stumbled on a phase of matter that seems to break one of the ...

A quantum state of matter has appeared in a material where physicists thought it would be impossible, forcing a rethink on ...

An Auburn University study finds that magnetic fields can guide electrons in plasma much like traffic signals, giving ...

Scientists have discovered a new way that matter can exist—one that is different from the usual states of solid, liquid, gas or plasma—at the interface of two exotic materials made into a sandwich.

At the edge of two exotic materials, scientists have discovered a new state of matter called a "quantum liquid crystal" that behaves unlike anything we've seen before. When a conductive Weyl semimetal ...

The quantum world is already full of surprises, but a new discovery has added an entire wing to what scientists call the “quantum zoo.” Using a new kind of laser technique, researchers have uncovered ...

Researchers have discovered that not all atoms in a liquid are in motion and that some remain stationary regardless of the temperature, significantly impacting the solidification process, including ...
