Twisted materials—known as moiré structures—have revolutionized modern physics, emerging as today's "alchemy" by creating ...

A team of physicists has discovered an unusual form of matter -- not a conventional metal, insulator, or magnet, for example, but something entirely different. This phase, characterized by an ...

Kenneth Burch collaborated with a team of researchers to publish a paper on June 8 detailing the discovery of a new phase of matter. ... which results in “modes” or “excitations,” which are the ...

As the number of particles in a physical system increases, its properties can change and different phase transitions (i.e., shifts into different phases of matter) can take place. Microscopic ...

Missing link between new topological phases of matter discovered. ScienceDaily . Retrieved June 2, 2025 from www.sciencedaily.com / releases / 2017 / 10 / 171017110048.htm ...

But matter can exist in many different phases--ice, for example, has more than ten known phases, or ways that its atoms can be spatially arranged.

Ph.D.-researcher Joeri Opdam developed theoretical methods to accurately predict the phase behavior of soft matter systems that consist of colloidal mixtures and block copolymers, which is crucial ...

When under a great deal of heat and pressure, matter goes "supercritical," and the difference between liquid and gas seems to disappear. Now, new research finds that matter at this extreme ...

Csáthy’s discovery of the bubble phase of composite fermions proves the existence of this fundamental new type of highly correlated topological phase. “Our experiment demonstrated that this regime of ...
