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 ...

In a quiet corner of low-temperature physics, researchers have stumbled on a phase of matter that seems to break one of the field’s unwritten rules: it works without well-defined particles. Instead of ...

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 ...

Scientists have discovered a new state of matter that isn't a solid, liquid, or gas. Researchers call this new type of material a 'corralled supercooled liquid'. Atoms in a liquid are normally like ...
