U.S. government scientists have developed a new phase of matter dubbed 'half ice, half fire,' which unites opposing electron ...

With properties of a superfluid but with a crystalline structure, supersolids have previously only been observed in ultracold condensates—until now.

For the first time in history, a new, peculiar condition of matter known as "half ice, half fire" was produced. A new ...

Less than a decade ago, researchers found a peculiar phase of matter where the electrons of a particular compound would behave in two very distinct phases. Some had spins that were very well ...

Ranch dressing is actually a fifth state of matter known as soft matter. Soft matter can have properties of both liquids and ...

Brookhaven National Laboratory have discovered a new phase of matter while studying a model system of a magnetic material.

Physicists have discovered a new phase of matter, dubbed "half ice, half fire," that could open the door to new advancements in fields such as quantum computing. The new phase combines a number of "up ...

(AI generated image) A supersolid is an exotic phase of matter that simultaneously possesses the rigidity of a solid and the ability to flow like a superfluid. Until now, supersolidity had only ...

“A supersolid is a completely new exotic phase of matter. It has the paradoxical properties of being a solid while at the same time being able to flow freely around obstacles like a liqui ...

The new phase comes in the form of a pattern of electron ... those states—are central problems in the fields of condensed matter physics and materials science," said paper author Weiguo Yin ...

Discovering and controlling exotic physical states is key in condensed matter physics and materials science. It has the ...

U.S. government scientists have developed a new phase of matter dubbed 'half ice, half fire,' which unites opposing electron spins in a unique magnet.
