Collisions of light nuclei performed at the Large Hadron Collider are providing new clues to an extreme state of matter. The ...

Scientists created a Mini Big Bang at CERN, recreating quark-gluon plasma believed to have filled the universe moments after the Big Bang.

It can be found inside gas giants such as Jupiter and is briefly created during meteorite impacts or in laser fusion experiments: warm dense matter. This exotic state of matter combines features of ...

Chinese researchers observed a novel quantum state of matter, counterflow superfluidity, in atomic ultracold quantum simulation experiments, the University of Science and Technology of China announced ...

Recent developments within the field of physics have brought forth a groundbreaking discovery: a new state of matter. This revelation, taking place within a laboratory setting, promises not only to ...

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 ...

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 strange, glowing form of matter called dusty plasma turns out to be incredibly sensitive to magnetic fields. Researchers found that even weak fields can change how tiny particles grow, simply by ...
