A strange new phase of matter is forcing physicists to rethink what electrons can do, and it is arriving just as space agencies and private launch companies are hunting for materials that can survive ...

A quantum state of matter has appeared in a material where physicists thought it would be impossible, forcing a rethink on the conditions that govern the behaviors of electrons in certain materials.

Scientists have discovered a new quantum state of matter that connects two significant areas of physics, potentially leading ...

Physicists are rapidly expanding the traditional menu of matter beyond solids, liquids, gases and plasmas, uncovering exotic phases that behave in ways no classroom diagram ever captured. In the ...

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 ...

Can a small lump of metal be in a quantum state that extends over distant locations? A research team at the University of Vienna answers this question with a resounding yes. In the journal Nature, ...

A research group at the University of Geneva (UNIGE) demonstrates that the state of a quantum system can be inferred through indirect measurements when the system interacts with its surrounding ...
