Progress in laser technology has recently enabled many advances in experimental probes and control tools of complex materials, with a focus on the nonlinear response of these solids. Nonlinear probes ...

Let’s see if we can figure it out states of matter together. Let’s talk about states of matter. You know your states of matter don’t you? We have solids, liquids and gasses, and plasmas, quark-gluon ...

In this lab, students will fill out a foldable on the three primary states of matter. Students will watch a video showing ice melting from a solid to a liquid and boiling from a liquid to a gas.

Ah, yes, the three states of matter: Solids, liquids, and gases. What a simple way to understand our physical world. Of course, if you remember a bit of high school science, you probably recall a ...

Matter is all around us. Everything that has weight and takes up space is matter. Matter exists mostly in four basic states: solid, liquid, gas, and plasma. And it all has to do with atoms. Science ...

In the heart of a new dark matter detector, LUX-ZEPLIN (LZ), a 5-foot-tall detector filled with 10 tons of liquid xenon, will search for hypothetical dark matter particles to produce flashes of light ...

The neutrino “fog” is beginning to materialize. Lightweight subatomic particles called neutrinos have begun elbowing their way into the data of experiments not designed to spot them. Two experiments, ...

Forbes contributors publish independent expert analyses and insights. I write about physics, science, academia, and pop culture. I spent last week at the 49th annual meeting of the Division of Atomic, ...

The world of quantum physics has once again astounded us with a groundbreaking discovery: a new state of quantum matter that can exist in multiple states simultaneously. This revelation not only ...

The central principle of superconductivity is that electrons form pairs. But can they also condense into foursomes? Recent findings have suggested they can, and a physicist has published experimental ...
