Matter is an inquisitive subject for scientists to investigate. Despite being so overwhelmingly surrounded by matter, there is a lot that is yet to be understood about it. Recently, researchers found ...

Electricity powers our lives, including our cars, phones, computers, and more, through the movement of electrons within a circuit. While we can't see these electrons, electric currents moving through ...

Researchers at the University of California, Irvine have discovered a new state of quantum matter. The state exists within a material that the team reports could lead to a new era of self-charging ...

Quantum physics has quietly been rewriting the rulebook on matter, and the latest breakthroughs suggest that the so‑called fifth state is no longer a niche laboratory curiosity. From orbiting ...

New research reveals that Earth’s solid inner core is actually in a superionic state, where carbon atoms flow freely through a solid iron lattice. This unusual behavior makes the core soft, matching ...
