Physicists are now watching matter behave in a way that defies everyday intuition, with atoms and even light itself arranging ...

A new joint analysis from the NOvA and T2K experiments offers the most precise look yet at neutrino behavior, bringing ...

Chinese researchers have discovered that interstitial carbon in iron-carbon alloys behaves in a superionic, liquid-like state under Earth’s core pressure and temperature conditions. Beneath Earth’s ...

Physicists using near-absolute-zero detectors have reached unprecedented sensitivity in the hunt for light dark matter. A groundbreaking scientific project known as QROCODILE, led by the University of ...

With contributions from Brown faculty and students, the LUX-ZEPLIN experiment analyzed the largest dataset ever collected by ...

Scientists have discovered a new way that matter can exist—one that is different from the usual states of solid, liquid, gas or plasma—at the interface of two exotic materials made into a sandwich.

A UC Irvine team uncovered a never-before-seen quantum phase formed when electrons and holes pair up and spin in unison, creating a glowing, liquid-like state of matter. By blasting a custom-made ...

Progress in laser technology has recently enabled many advances in experimental probes and control tools of complex materials, with a focus on the nonlinear response of these solids. Nonlinear probes ...

Dark matter is an elusive type of matter that does not emit, reflect or absorb light, yet is estimated to account for most of ...

The nature of dark matter is one of the leading mysteries in modern astronomy. In fact, the name "dark matter" is essentially a placeholder for something astronomers know is there but can't yet ...
