Physicists are now watching matter behave in a way that defies everyday intuition, with atoms and even light itself arranging ...

Deep beneath our feet, far below the crust and mantle, researchers now argue that matter behaves in a way that does not fit ...

Researchers have discovered that not all atoms in a liquid are in motion and that some remain stationary regardless of the ...

Chinese researchers have discovered that interstitial carbon in iron-carbon alloys behaves in a superionic, liquid-like state under Earth’s core pressure and temperature conditions. Beneath Earth’s ...

A UC Irvine team uncovered a never-before-seen quantum phase formed when electrons and holes pair up and spin in unison, creating a glowing, liquid-like state of matter. By blasting a custom-made ...

A team from the Universities of Nottingham and Ulm has, for the first time, observed how tiny droplets of molten metal can be trapped in an “atomic corral,” remaining liquid at tempe ...

Researchers have uncovered clear evidence of exotic quantum excitations inside a rare 3D spin liquid, validating decades of theory. An international research group led by Pengcheng Dai of Rice Univers ...

Plasma happens when gas gets heated to a very high temperature and the atoms lose their electrons. Find out more about this state of matter. Science Trek is available to stream on pbs.org and the free ...
