A team of researchers has observed a never-before-seen state of matter called a quantum spin liquid by toying with the spins on supercooled rubidium atoms using a quantum simulator. The discovery has ...

Students will see how matter changes between various states such as a solid to a liquid. In this lesson, students will see how matter changes between various states such as a solid to a liquid. They ...

Information could become the fifth state of matter alongside gas, plasma, liquid, and solid states. A scientist has proposed ...

Besides the basic well-known states of matter – solid, liquid, gas and plasma – there are many exotic states being conjured up in the lab. One of these, known as a “supersolid,” was only confirmed a ...

How is plasma used on Earth? Plasma happens when gas gets heated to a very high temperature and the atoms lose their electrons. Find out more about this state of matter. Major Funding by the Laura ...

THE tenets of physics can seem carved in stone. The speed of light is a constant. There are four fundamental forces. Theoretically, rules like these are open to revision. But new contenders had better ...
