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

UC Irvine created new matter phase where electron-hole pairs spin together in hafnium pentatelluride crystal under 70-tesla fields.

Anyone who has sat through a third-grade science class knows there are three primary states of matter: solid, liquid and gas. Microsoft now says it has created a new state of matter in its quest ...

Everyone knows solid, liquid, and gas—but what about time crystals, quark-gluon plasma, and Bose-Einstein condensates? Science has uncovered far stranger states of matter, many of which behave ...

When thinking about states of matter, gases, liquids, solids and plasmas are the four well known ones — but there's also an exotic fifth state of matter, the Bose-Einstein condensate, that was ...

Physicists at the University of California, Irvine have discovered a brand-new state of quantum matter—something that has ...

In the mid-1920s, two absolute giants in the world of physics, Satyendra Nath Bose and Albert Einstein, theorized the existence of a strange quantum state of matter that’d eventually be named in ...

When physics gets cold, it can be especially cool. Matter comes in more than three flavors. Right alongside solids, liquids, and gases, there are bizarre states of matter such as supersolids ...
