Scientists have made a new phase of matter: liquid glass, a slightly ordered middle area between a colloid and solid.

Mundane as it may seem, glass is a surprisingly mysterious material. Now scientists at the University of Konstanz have identified a new state of matter called liquid glass, which has some unusual ...

Students will see how matter changes between various states such as a solid to a liquid.

Researchers have found evidence of a theorized quantum phenomenon, quantum spin liquid, in a material called pyrochlore cerium stannate.

New research published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences reports the discovery of a new state of matter: liquid glass. The University of Konstanz chemists and physicists behind ...

In middle and high school, most people learn about the three states of matter we interact with in our everyday lives: solid, liquid and gas. Some students may have even been introduced to the idea of ...

An exotic state of matter originally hypothesized almost 50 years ago has been observed for the first time. Created by Harvard researchers, this material called quantum spin liquid could ...

A machine allowed researchers to manipulate atoms into the form of quantum spin liquid, matter that had existed before only in theory.

Earth's inner core, the deepest part of our planet, is characterized by extremely high pressure and temperature, forcing the matter found there in a status somewhere between liquid and solid, a ...

In everyday life, all matter exists as either a gas, liquid, or solid. In quantum mechanics, however, it is possible for two distinct states to exist simultaneously. An ultracold quantum system, for ...

Spin liquids are an exotic state of matter characterized by entangled spins, fractionalized excitations, and topological order, holding promise for quantum computing and spintronics.

Physicists said they have finally experimentally documented quantum spin liquids, a long sought-after exotic state of matter. The work marks a big step toward being able to produce this elusive ...
