A strange, glowing form of matter called dusty plasma turns out to be incredibly sensitive to magnetic fields. Researchers found that even weak fields can change how tiny particles grow, simply by ...

Statistical mechanics has long provided the theoretical bedrock for understanding phase transitions—sharp changes in the physical state of matter—and, more recently, the associated large deviations ...

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 ...

Let’s see if we can figure it out states of matter together. Let’s talk about states of matter. You know your states of matter don’t you? We have solids, liquids and gasses, and plasmas, quark-gluon ...

Non-Abelian anyons are emergent quasiparticles found in exotic quantum states of matter, which could have applications in fault-tolerant topological quantum computing. But performing the manipulations ...
