In a quiet corner of low-temperature physics, researchers have stumbled on a phase of matter that seems to break one of the ...

Physicists have unveiled a new way to simulate a mysterious form of dark matter that can collide with itself but not with ...

Dark matter seems invisible, but it makes up most matter, and we have evidence that it gives the cosmos its shape. Now ...

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. Science Trek is available to stream on pbs.org and the free ...

Now physicists from the University of Washington are taking a big swing at answering that question. All matter exerts gravitational force. The more mass the object has, the greater the force. Yet, a ...

Recent developments within the field of physics have brought forth a groundbreaking discovery: a new state of matter. This revelation, taking place within a laboratory setting, promises not only to ...

Scientists have taken another major step toward creating stable quantum computers. Using a specialized quantum computer chip (an essential component of a quantum computer) as a kind of tiny laboratory ...

NASA's Hubble Space Telescope captures the magnificent starry population of the Coma Cluster of galaxies, one of the densest known galaxy collections in the universe — and where the effect of dark ...

Hubble has revealed a strange cosmic object called Cloud-9, a dark matter–dominated cloud with no stars at all. Scientists believe it is a “failed galaxy,” a leftover building block from the early ...
