A team of researchers from Switzerland and France and theoretical physicists in Canada and the U.S., including Rice University, believe they have found evidence of a theorized quantum phenomenon ...

In school, you might have learned that there are three or even four states of matter; the classical states of matter. But as our understanding of the universe has expanded, we have realized that ...

AMHERST — While in our everyday lives, we only interact with three states of matter — solid, liquid and gas. But, when dealing with quantum matter and mechanics, many more states exist. Now, a new ...

Recent developments within the field of physics have brought forth a groundbreaking discovery: a new state of matter. This revelation, taking place within a laboratory setting, promises not only to ...

Information could become the fifth state of matter alongside gas, plasma, liquid, and solid states. A scientist has proposed ...

Researchers from Rutgers University have discovered a new way in which matter can exist. Dubbed a “Quantum Liquid Crystal,” this previously unknown quantum state expands researchers' understanding of ...

We explore Supercritical Fluids and how being "in the between" is their superpower. Supercritical Fluids are one the strangest states of matter and yet they are found everywhere from Decaf Coffee, to ...

Despite being one of the most familiar substances on Earth, water holds many secrets that scientists are still working to ...

Most people think of seismology as the science of earthquakes that split roads or rattle buildings. In reality, it covers every vibration that ripples through the ground, whether from tectonic shifts, ...
