All four main LHC experiments have found new signs that oxygen and neon collisions may create the extreme state of matter ...

Quantum physics has quietly been rewriting the rulebook on matter, and the latest breakthroughs suggest that the so‑called fifth state is no longer a niche laboratory curiosity. From orbiting ...

Magnetic materials in a quantum spin liquid phase are of great interest in the pursuit of exotic state of matter and quantum computation. But in the quantum realm, things are not always what they seem ...

A new quantum state of matter behaves as if it doesn’t fully belong to a world with two or three dimensions of space, revealing a previously unobserved way for electrons to move. Physicists categorise ...

A new quantum physics study reveals that simply changing a magnetic field over time can unlock entirely new forms of matter that don’t exist under normal conditions. By carefully “driving” materials ...

Researchers have discovered that not all atoms in a liquid are in motion and that some remain stationary regardless of the temperature, significantly impacting the solidification process, including ...
