It can be found inside gas giants such as Jupiter and is briefly created during meteorite impacts or in laser fusion ...

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

As few as five electrons in a semiconductor can exhibit collective behaviour, forming a “Coulomb liquid”, according to ...

Researchers successfully freeze light into a supersolid, a groundbreaking discovery with potential applications in quantum computing and energy transport.

This study introduces a phonon-based theoretical framework for liquids, marking a major step toward a universal equation of state with broad implications across physics, chemistry and engineering ...

Many electric motors currently use copper in their stators and often their rotors. In a search for alternatives, researchers ...

The standard model of particle physics, which describes interactions between fundamental particles, is one of the greatest scientific accomplishments of the twentieth century. However, some ...

Scientists just gave the electric motor a sci-fi upgrade. A new study details how researchers successfully built and operated ...

Potentially hazardous air quality has gripped Phoenix, Arizona, as a combination of stagnant weather, windblown dust, and warm temperatures fueled a rise in PM10 pollution, prompting hazy skies and ...

In a twist on conventional wisdom, researchers have discovered that in ocean-like fluids with changing density, tiny porous particles can sink faster than larger ones, thanks to how they absorb salt.

At the Department of Energy's Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab), the 88-Inch Cyclotron is a powerful ...
