An experiment with a carbon material in a magnetic field has revealed a novel way for electrons to move, which doesn't fully ...

Explore 25 Times Scientists Created Astonishing New States of Matter, from time crystals to supersolids. Discover how quantum physics is reshaping our unde ...

Magnetic materials in a quantum spin liquid phase are of great interest in the pursuit of exotic state of matter and quantum computation. But in the quantum realm, things are not always what they seem ...

Electrons can freeze into strange geometric crystals and then melt back into liquid-like motion under the right quantum conditions. Researchers identified how to tune these transitions and even ...

A new type of self-interacting dark matter could provide solutions to three very different cosmic puzzles, new research ...

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 ...

Scientists report a possible new state of matter formed under extreme pressure and heat inside Uranus and Neptune.

In 1995, two papers reported long-sought proof of an exotic state of matter — with applications in fields as diverse as quantum computing and cosmology. Read the paper: Observation of Bose-Einstein ...
