Once a wild theory, time crystals are now a lab-made reality. Born from equations and skepticism, these quantum structures ...

UC Irvine created new matter phase where electron-hole pairs spin together in hafnium pentatelluride crystal under 70-tesla fields.

Physicists at the Cavendish Laboratory in Cambridge have successfully produced the first two-dimensional Bose glass, an unusual phase of matter that defies conventional ideas in statistical ...

Your science textbook likely told you that matter exists in four states. You know them as solid, liquid, gas, and plasma.

Microsoft researchers say they've created a new form of matter that is not characterized by the traditional physical properties that define a solid, liquid or gas.

U.S. government scientists have developed a new phase of matter dubbed 'half ice, half fire,' which unites opposing electron spins in a unique magnet.

“A supersolid is a completely new exotic phase of matter. It has the paradoxical properties of being a solid while at the same time being able to flow freely around obstacles like a liquid.

“This is the first time a super-solid has been realised with light,” says researcher Daniele Sanvitto, head of the advanced photonics group at CNR-Nanotec at Lecce, “the potential applications go ...

Upcycled high-strength aluminum alloys from scrap through solid-phase alloying. Nature Communications, 2024; 15 (1) DOI: 10.1038/s41467-024-53062-2 ...

Physicists with the U.S. Department of Energy have discovered a new phase of matter—and, with apologies to George R. R. Martin, it's something of "a song of ice and fire." ...

They created a new chip, called 'Majorana 1,' which is powered by a new state of matter called a topological state. This phase of matter is not characterized by the traditional physical properties ...
