With properties of a superfluid but with a crystalline structure, supersolids have previously only been observed in ultracold ...

Physicists with the U.S. Department of Energy have discovered a new phase of matter—and, with apologies to George R. R.

Scientists at the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) Brookhaven National Laboratory discovered a new phase a matter called ...

Physicists at the U.S. Department of Energy’s Brookhaven National Laboratory have discovered a brand-new phase of matter in a ...

Microsoft's Majorana 1 chip utilizes a fourth state of matter, enhancing qubit stability and paving the way for scalable, ...

A RIKEN study shows that squeezing the right amount of potassium ions between the atomic layers of molybdenum disulfide can ...

Supersolids are a strange quantum state of matter that combines properties of solids and liquids. Now they've gotten even more mind-bending, as scientists have transformed light itself into a ...

The effects of ultra-fast lasers that can change material states in attoseconds are finally understood, thanks to new Israeli ...

The field of condensed matter physics explores the macroscopic and microscopic properties of matter. Condensed Matter physicists study how matter arises from a large number of interacting atoms and ...

For several years now, scientists have been using lasers to control the properties of matter at extremely fast rates: during one optical cycle of a light wave. But because these changes occur on the ...

61, No. 3 (2016), pp. 1015-1032 (18 pages) Advances in spectroscopic techniques have led to an increase in the use of optical properties (absorbance and fluorescence) to assess dissolved organic ...

Students will learn how to categorize matter as either pure substances or mixtures. Students will apply tests, based on physical properties of matter samples, to determine whether a mixture is ...
