Physicists have long theorized the existence of a unique state of matter known as a quantum spin liquid. In this state, magnetic particles do not settle into an orderly pattern, even at absolute ...

Solids, liquids and gases. Podcast: States of matter; Changes of state; Explaining change of state. Video: The atomic structure of metal; Diffusion. Video: Movement of particles ...

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 ...

Imagine a liquid that flows freely one moment, then stiffens into a near-solid the next, and then can switch back with a ...

By two modes of observation Dr. Andrews arrived at the conclusion that the liquid and gaseous states of matter were continuous. The experiments being conducted in transparent glass tubes, ...

Physicists working at the CERN particle physics lab said they detected a slight but significant difference in how particles ...

These collisions briefly produce a state of matter called a quark-gluon plasma (QGP), a soup of fundamental particles that existed microseconds after the Big Bang.
