The four fundamental states of matter are solid, liquid, gas and plasma, but there others, such as Bose-Einstein condensates and time crystals, that are man-made.

Matter is the "stuff" that makes up the universe. Everything that has mass is matter. In normal everyday life we come across matter in three states, solid, liquid and gas.

Suspensions are widespread in industry and everyday life. By a suspension, materials scientists mean a liquid in which tiny, ...

The latest experiment also represents the first time the LZ team applied a technique called “salting,” in which false WIMP signals were added in advance. This helped the researchers—who, of course, ...

Matter is made up of extremely tiny particles called atoms and molecules. Atoms and molecules make up the three common states of matter on Earth—solids, liquids, and gases. The particles of a liquid ...

As few as five electrons in a semiconductor can exhibit collective behaviour, forming a “Coulomb liquid”, according to researchers in Europe. This extends the study of correlated systems to electron ...

Quantum spin liquid, in case you are unaware, is a theoretical special state of matter where tiny magnetic particles don’t settle in a fixed pattern. It is believed this can even occur at the ...

Researchers detect neutrinos through their rare interactions with the matter particles in the liquid, which can be heavy water, chlorine, or gallium—or in DUNE’s case, argon.
