Supersolid light, a newly discovered phase of matter, represents a groundbreaking leap in our understanding of physics. This phenomenon combines properties of both solids and superfluids, resulting in ...

Physicists have taken a gemstone better known for engagement rings and turned it into a laboratory for one of the strangest ideas in modern physics, a phase of matter that repeats in time instead of ...

When materials become just one atom thick, melting no longer follows the familiar rules. Instead of jumping straight from solid to liquid, an unusual in-between state emerges, where atomic positions ...

A UC Irvine team uncovered a never-before-seen quantum phase formed when electrons and holes pair up and spin in unison, creating a glowing, liquid-like state of matter. By blasting a custom-made ...

Researchers used a 58-qubit quantum processor to realize and probe a Floquet topological phase, revealing exotic non-equilibrium matter beyond classical reach. (Nanowerk News) Unlike conventional ...
