A supersolid is a paradoxical state of matter—it is rigid like a crystal but flows without friction like a superfluid. This ...

Researchers have found that 2D materials can self-form microscopic cavities that trap light and electrons, altering their ...

Bose-Einstein condensates (BECs) are fascinating states of matter that emerge when atoms or molecules are cooled to extremely ...

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 story begins with the black hole information paradox. According to relativity, anything that falls into a black hole is ...

Researchers in Konstanz discovered a way to manipulate materials with light by exciting magnon pairs, reshaping their ...

As the collapsed core of a massive star, a neutron star is a small but incredibly dense object, packing up to three times the ...

Unlike conventional phases of matter, the so-called non-equilibrium quantum phases are defined by their dynamical and time-evolving properties — a behavior that cannot be captured by traditional ...

MIT physicists have shown that it should be possible to create an exotic form of matter that could be manipulated to form the qubit (quantum bit) building blocks of future quantum computers that are ...

Evolving dark matter may explain cosmic acceleration. Observations support a mixed model. For years, a stubborn puzzle has sat at the center of the standard cosmological model. The evidence clearly ...

Bring together a large number of particles and they can order themselves in unusual ways. This can give rise to emergent phenomena that cannot be understood solely in terms of the interactions that ...
