Researchers at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (RPI) have created a new and unusual state of matter—known as a supersolid—by ...

At temperatures approaching absolute zero, most magnetic materials settle into tidy patterns. Their tiny magnetic moments, or spins, align in one of two ways: all pointing in the same direction in ...

Physicists are now watching matter behave in a way that defies everyday intuition, with atoms and even light itself arranging into structures that are rigid like a crystal yet able to flow like a ...

As binary neutron stars spiral around each other to merge, their gravitational tidal forces distort each other's shape and ...

Electricity powers our lives, including our cars, phones, computers, and more, through the movement of electrons within a circuit. While we can't see these electrons, electric currents moving through ...

The quantum world is already full of surprises, but a new discovery has added an entire wing to what scientists call the “quantum zoo.” Using a new kind of laser technique, researchers have uncovered ...

Quantum physics tells us that particles behave like waves that therefore their position is space is unknown. Yet in many situations, it still works remarkably well to think of particles in a classical ...
