At TU Wien, researchers have discovered a state in a quantum material that had previously been considered impossible. The ...

In a quiet corner of low-temperature physics, researchers have stumbled on a phase of matter that seems to break one of the ...

Deep beneath our feet, far below the crust and mantle, researchers now argue that matter behaves in a way that does not fit the familiar categories of solid or liquid. At the center of Earth, they say ...

An Auburn University study finds that magnetic fields can guide electrons in plasma much like traffic signals, giving ...

Twisted materials—known as moiré structures—have revolutionized modern physics, emerging as today's "alchemy" by creating entirely new phases of matter through simple geometric manipulation. The term ...

Physicists have discovered an exotic new state of matter that takes the form of a highly ordered crystal of subatomic particles. The new state of matter, called a "bosonic correlated insulator," could ...
