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 ...

The new research demonstrates for the first time that the wave nature of matter persists even at large scales, using massive ...

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.

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 ...

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 colliding planar shock (CPS) platform should deliver precise measurements of the characteristics of warm dense matter (WDM), a state of matter exhibiting properties of both solids and plasmas.
