Scientists are on the trail of a mysterious five-particle structure that could challenge one of the biggest theories in physics: string theory. This rare particle—never seen before and predicted not ...

Two studies fill in gaps about the cosmos’s ordinary matter. One maps it all, even the “missing matter.” The other details one of its hiding spots.

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

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 ...

The discovery itself is simple and fundamental, but the applications stretch far and wide into astrophysics and quantum ...

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

The introduction of the new catalyst would have an advantage beyond cutting the cost of synthesis for many industrial ...

A team of researchers has developed a novel method for using cholesteric liquid crystals in optical microcavities. The ...

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 ...

Researchers from Binghamton University, North Carolina State University, Harvard Medical School and Duke University have observed a phenomenon that allows them to create spin in liquid droplets ... to ...

The effects of inhaling wildfire smoke can be as stressful to calves as weaning, according to research from the Oregon State ...

We present the first magnetic phase of an ionic liquid with anion−π interactions, which displays a three-dimensional (3D) magnetic ordering below the Néel temperature, TN = 7.7 K. In this material, ...
