Recent developments within the field of physics have brought forth a groundbreaking discovery: a new state of matter. This revelation, taking place within a laboratory setting, promises not only to ...

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. A team of researchers from Switzerland and France and theoretical physicists in Canada and the U.S., including Rice University, ...

Physicists have watched a quantum fluid do something once thought almost impossible: stop moving. In experiments with ...

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 ...

A team at New York University has discovered a new form of time crystal that hovers using sound waves. Unlike ordinary matter, these crystals seem to behave in ways that don’t align with Newton’s ...

Physicists have observed a strange new quantum phase in a graphene-based system, where a superfluid appears to freeze into a solid-like state. Cooling usually pushes matter through a simple sequence.

Microsoft on Wednesday announced Majorana 1, its first quantum computing chip. The achievement comes after the company spent nearly two decades of research in the field, but Microsoft claims that ...

Condensed matter physics examines the collective behaviour of vast assemblies of interacting particles in solids and liquids. It seeks to explain how the arrangement and quantum states of electrons ...

The frontier of moiré matter has opened up a previously inaccessible realm of emergent topological phenomena. This class of materials — formed by stacking two-dimensional layers with a small twist — ...
