Light and matter can remain at separate temperatures even while interacting with each other for long periods, according to ...

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 ...

For the first time, physicists have generated and observed stable bright matter-wave solitons with attractive interactions ...

Together with an international team, researchers from the Molecular Physics Department at the Fritz Haber Institute have ...

Atoms of the soft, silvery metal indium have been chilled to temperatures so cold that the particles can demonstrate strange quantum behaviour, such as forming new types of matter. Because indium ...

What is dark matter, and can we detect it? This is what a recent study published in Physical Review D hopes to address as a team of international researchers investigated a new method for detecting ...

Ultracold atoms sit at the heart of the quantum-technology revolution. India has built a strong and steadily growing presence ...

The manipulation of metals as they transform from a liquid to a solid can have immense benefits for technologies. A new study finds that the manipulation of stationary atoms in a liquid metal can ...

New research suggests that the Earth's solid inner core is softer and more dynamic than previously thought, changing ideas.

When materials become just one atom thick, melting no longer follows the familiar rules. Instead of jumping straight from solid to liquid, an unusual in-between state emerges, where atomic positions ...
