Motionless atoms can trap liquid metal in a strange new state that shouldn’t exist. Scientists have discovered that a liquid does not always behave the way it seems. Even when a material is fully ...
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 ...
Most magnets are predictable. Cool them down, and their tiny magnetic moments snap into ...
In a quiet corner of low-temperature physics, researchers have stumbled on a phase of matter that seems to break one of the ...
The melting of materials seems like a simple phenomenon. However, when their thickness is reduced to just a few atoms, established rules waver. In this two-dimensional mode, new states emerge ...
Scientists discover a new solid-liquid hybrid state in nanoparticles, revealing unique properties crucial for improving ...
Dark matter seems invisible, but it makes up most matter, and we have evidence that it gives the cosmos its shape. Now ...
