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 ...

The use of light to manipulate electronic states of matter has been a subject of intense investigation since almost two centuries, starting from Becquerel’s 1839 discovery of the photovoltaic effect, ...

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 ...

Before scientists discovered the new state of matter last week, we were basically all used to just three states of matter. After all, during our daily lives we encounter some variety of solids, ...

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 the last three decades, condensed matter physicists have discovered a wonderland of exotic new phases of matter: emergent, collective states of interacting particles that are nothing like the ...

Three scientists who elucidated the mysterious properties of exotic states of matter were honored Tuesday with the Nobel Prize in physics. 2:50 a.m. Oct. 5, 2016This article previously stated that the ...

Researchers at Brown University have found that Cooper pairs of electrons can model three total phases of matter—and the third is new. The four observable everyday states of matter are just the ...

In middle and high school, most people learn about the three states of matter we interact with in our everyday lives: solid, liquid and gas. Some students may have even been introduced to the idea of ...
