Most of us recognize basic phases of matter and their properties: solids maintain their shape, liquids flow freely with ...

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.

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. Physicists uncover new state of matter called quantum spin liquid A team of researchers from Switzerland and France and ...

Electricity powers our lives, including our cars, phones, computers, and more, through the movement of electrons within a circuit. While we can't see these electrons, electric currents moving through ...

Condensed matter physics examines the collective behaviour of vast assemblies of interacting particles in solids and liquids. It seeks to explain how the arrangement and quantum states of electrons ...

Florida State University Assistant Professor of Physics Zhengguang Lu and fellow researchers have discovered new states of matter in graphene — a form of carbon made from a single layer of atoms — ...

A UC Irvine team uncovered a never-before-seen quantum phase formed when electrons and holes pair up and spin in unison, creating a glowing, liquid-like state of matter. By blasting a custom-made ...

Three theoretical studies have uncovered novel types of topological order inherent in open quantum systems, enriching our understanding of quantum phases of matter. Nature showcases an extraordinary ...

A Florida State University faculty member has received one of the most prestigious honors for early-career researchers in condensed-matter physics for his contributions to quantum physics, including ...

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 ...

Dark matter detection using quantum entanglement: Fermilab physicist Rakshya Khatiwada wins a DOE Early Career Award to build ...

In making our predictions we sometimes rely on an infographic that we have been updating for a decade or so. It shows the ...
