For more than a century, schoolbook physics has divided matter into neat categories like solid, liquid, gas, and plasma. A ...

This corralled supercooled liquid relies on the surprising property that some atoms in a liquid remain stationary regardless ...

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

After conducting numerous experiments with potassium, Scottish researchers have claimed to have discovered a new stable state of matter that behaves both as a solid ...

Scientists have discovered a new state of matter that isn't a solid, liquid, or gas. Researchers call this new type of material a 'corralled supercooled liquid'. Atoms in a liquid are normally like ...

High school science misses a lot of the science researchers actually work with. For example, you learn that there are three states of matter—solid, liquid, and gas—but in advanced physics, things get ...

AMHERST — While in our everyday lives, we only interact with three states of matter — solid, liquid and gas. But, when dealing with quantum matter and mechanics, many more states exist. Now, a new ...
