Physicists are now watching matter behave in a way that defies everyday intuition, with atoms and even light itself arranging into structures that are rigid like a crystal yet able to flow like a ...

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. A team of researchers from Switzerland and France and theoretical physicists in Canada and the U.S., including Rice University, ...

Scientists have discovered a new state of matter that isn't a solid, liquid, or gas. Researchers call this new type of material a 'corralled supercooled liquid'. Atoms in a liquid are normally like ...

Theoretical modelling explores the movement of atoms within a liquid nanodroplet of platinum that is confined inside a defect in a carbon support. The colours represent the mobility of the atoms: ...

The manipulation of metals as they transform from a liquid to a solid can have immense benefits for technologies. A new study finds that the manipulation of stationary atoms in a liquid metal can ...

Physicists begin to shed light on one of the most important questions regarding quantum spin liquids, and they do so by introducing a new phase of matter. Quantum spin liquids are difficult to explain ...

We explore Supercritical Fluids and how being "in the between" is their superpower. Supercritical Fluids are one the strangest states of matter and yet they are found everywhere from Decaf Coffee, to ...

Researchers were shocked to discover that what was thought to be a quantum state is actually an entirely new phase of matter.

Some atoms in a liquid stay fixed even at high temperatures, reshaping how solidification starts and enabling an unusual corralled supercooled liquid state. (Nanowerk News) Researchers have discovered ...
