In a quiet corner of low-temperature physics, researchers have stumbled on a phase of matter that seems to break one of the ...

Physicists are rapidly expanding the traditional menu of matter beyond solids, liquids, gases and plasmas, uncovering exotic phases that behave in ways no classroom diagram ever captured. In the ...

At TU Wien, researchers have discovered a state in a quantum material that had previously been considered impossible. The definition of topological states should be generalized. The work is published ...

An Auburn University study finds that magnetic fields can guide electrons in plasma much like traffic signals, giving ...

At the edge of two exotic materials, scientists have discovered a new state of matter called a "quantum liquid crystal" that behaves unlike anything we've seen before. When a conductive Weyl semimetal ...
