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 ...

The 20th century was marked by the discovery of exotic states of matter. First, liquid helium was observed to flow without friction at extremely low temperatures, a phase now known as superfluid. Soon ...

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 ...

Mundane as it may seem, glass is a surprisingly mysterious material. Now scientists at the University of Konstanz have identified a new state of matter called liquid glass, which has some unusual ...

Scientists have discovered a new state of matter, as published in the journal ACS Nano. The matter is understood in three states: solid, liquid, and gas, and the new matter is called "corralled ...

Breakthroughs, discoveries, and DIY tips sent six days a week. Terms of Service and Privacy Policy. A solid is made of atoms that are, more or less, locked in an ...

When materials become just one atom thick, melting no longer follows the familiar rules. Instead of jumping straight from solid to liquid, an unusual in-between state emerges, where atomic positions ...

Scientists studying molten metals have uncovered a surprising truth: even in a liquid state, some atoms do not move at all. Credit: SciTechDaily.com Motionless atoms can trap liquid metal in a strange ...

New research published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences reports the discovery of a new state of matter: liquid glass. The University of Konstanz chemists and physicists behind ...
