For the first time, Yale physicists have directly observed quantum behavior in the vibrations of a liquid body. A great deal of ongoing research is currently devoted to discovering and exploiting ...

Two papers challenged the existence of theorized particles called sterile neutrinos that might account for mysteries like the ...

Supercooled water may be a two-for-one deal. A long-standing theory holds that liquid water at temperatures well below freezing is composed of two different arrangements of molecules, one with high ...

Liquid metals can spontaneously bulge, protrude, branch and slither in response to certain ions in their environment. This happens due to the Marangoni effect, which starts with uneven changes in the ...

When temperatures drop below zero degrees Celsius, water turns to ice. But does everything actually freeze if you just cool it down enough? In the classical picture, matter inherently becomes solid at ...

When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an affiliate commission. Here’s how it works. A new kind of matter can be both solid and liquid at once. In this chain-melted state, molten and ...

A quantum spin liquid is a state of matter in which interacting quantum spins do not align even at lowest temperatures, but remain disordered. Research on this state has been going on for almost 50 ...
