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

Physicists are rapidly expanding the traditional menu of matter beyond solids, liquids, gases and plasmas, uncovering exotic phases that behave in ways no classroom diagram ever captured. In the ...

Researchers have discovered that not all atoms in a liquid are in motion and that some remain stationary regardless of the temperature, significantly impacting the solidification process, including ...

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 quantum world is already full of surprises, but a new discovery has added an entire wing to what scientists call the “quantum zoo.” Using a new kind of laser technique, researchers have uncovered ...
