Using a diamond as a quantum simulator, scientists created a rondeau time crystal, which exhibited both long-range temporal ...
Supersolid light, a newly discovered phase of matter, represents a groundbreaking leap in our understanding of physics. This phenomenon combines properties of both solids and superfluids, resulting in ...
Scientists at the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) Brookhaven National Laboratory discovered a new phase a matter called “half-ice, half-fire.” This elemental moniker is a reference to the ordered ...
Physicists with the U.S. Department of Energy have discovered a new phase of matter—and, with apologies to George R. R. Martin, it's something of "a song of ice and fire." The new phase comes in the ...
A UC Irvine team uncovered a never-before-seen quantum phase formed when electrons and holes pair up and spin in unison, creating a glowing, liquid-like state of matter. By blasting a custom-made ...
Based on fractal patterns in neurons, researchers believe our brains exist at or near a state called criticality where they're extremely close to shifting from one state of matter to another. They ...
New research offers clearer insight into how phase transitions unfold at the atomic scale in real materials. When ice turns into water, the change happens almost instantly. Once the melting ...
