Physicists saw excitons, a type of quasiparticle, undergo a reversible phase transition from superfluid to supersolid for the ...

When everyday matter is cooled, it follows a familiar path. A gas becomes a liquid, and with further cooling, that liquid turns into a solid. Quantum ...

Physicists have watched a quantum fluid do something once thought almost impossible: stop moving. In experiments with ...

Seattle's Avalanche Energy announced $29 million to support its push toward fusion power and to help launch a ...

Under a microscope, a snowflake looks kind of clear. When you stack billions of them together, like a snowfall, you get the ...

Using the world's most powerful particle accelerator, CERN's Large Hadron Collider, scientists have discovered that the trillion-degree hot primordial "soup" that filled the cosmos for mere millionths ...

Physicists have observed a strange new quantum phase in a graphene-based system, where a superfluid appears to freeze into a solid-like state. Cooling usually pushes matter through a simple sequence.

For the first time ICFO and UAB researchers have directly imaged a spin-orbit-coupled supersolid. The team has observed quantum fluids of atoms ...

President Donald Trump separately urged Democrats and Republicans to vote for a bipartisan deal that would resolve the government shutdown funding fight.

The 20th century was marked by the discovery of exotic states of matter. First, liquid helium was observed to flow without friction at extremely low temperatures, a phase now known as superfluid. Soon ...

In a recent study in Nature, a research team from Columbia University and the University of Texas at Austin has made a ...

Ordinary matter, when cooled, transitions from a gas into a liquid. Cool it further still, and it freezes into a solid.
