For more than a century, schoolbook physics has divided matter into neat categories like solid, liquid, gas, and plasma. A ...

Using a diamond as a quantum simulator, scientists created a rondeau time crystal, which exhibited both long-range temporal ...

A new ordered phase of matter has been discovered by Caltech researchers, which has big implications for superconductors – materials that conduct electricity with no resistance. The team thinks that ...

Here’s the thing: The device you’re reading this article on kind of sucks. No, it’s not because you don’t have the latest tech or software update. It’s because all computers are fairly inefficient—at ...

The neurons of our brain may not exist in a single state of matter, new research suggests. As detailed in a study, published in the journal Communications Physics, researchers have found signs that ...

A new research paper has revealed that Google's quantum computer has been used to create something called a "time crystal". A good way to think of this is by imaging an ice cub and a glass of water.

Researchers used a 58-qubit quantum processor to realize and probe a Floquet topological phase, revealing exotic non-equilibrium matter beyond classical reach. (Nanowerk News) Unlike conventional ...

The combined paired and periodic structure of the bubble phase of composite fermions represents an entirely new family of matter. WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. – Like finding a hidden world, physicists dialing ...

A suggested new phase of matter is an ordered ballistic conductance of different electron clusters. Most discoveries of new phases of matter are specialized applications like this. The electrons ...
