The state of matter is a deceptively simple concept. It turns out that any material, no matter what it is made of, can exist in one of three forms: solid, liquid or gas. These are categories of ...

The new quantum state, called quantum liquid crystal, appears to follow its own rules and offers characteristics that could ...

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 ...

Quantum spin liquid, in case you are unaware, is a theoretical special state of matter where tiny magnetic particles don’t settle in a fixed pattern. It is believed this can even occur at the ...

Physicists just gifted us ‘quantum spin liquid,’ a weird new state of matter For decades, quantum spin liquid had existed only as a theory. By Rahul Rao Published Dec 2, 2021 4:00 PM EST ...

You would be forgiven for thinking this confidence also applies to something as fundamental as the different states of matter. As we learned in school, there are three of them: solid, liquid, gas.

AMHERST — While in our everyday lives, we only interact with three states of matter — solid, liquid and gas. But, when dealing with quantum matter and mechanics, many more states exist. Now, a ...

Instead, liquid glass is like a spooky atomic gyroscope that always faces the same way no matter how you move it. It’s like a magnet is acting just out of frame.

An exotic state of matter originally hypothesized almost 50 years ago has been observed for the first time. Created by Harvard researchers, this material called quantum spin liquid could ...

Apr. 16, 2021 — A quantum spin liquid is a state of matter in which interacting quantum spins do not align even at lowest temperatures, but remain disordered.

Quantum spin liquid, in case you are unaware, is a theoretical special state of matter where tiny magnetic particles don't settle in a fixed pattern. It is believed this can even occur at the ...
