Forget solid, liquid, and gas: there are in fact more than 500 phases of matter. In a major new article scientists reveal a modern reclassification of all of them.

Most discoveries of new phases of matter are specialized applications like this. ... A graph of the conductance of different electron clusters, showing adherence to Pascal’s triangle.

Two lines on a resulting graph show the gallium arsenide slipping in and out of previously known topological phases as the magnetic field strength rises. But at a magnetic field strength of about 7.76 ...

Phase boundary: two many body localization phases (blue) are clearly separated by an orange boundary region. (Courtesy: Eun-Ah Kim) Physicists in the US have used machine learning to determine the ...

One half of the prize went to David J. Thouless; the other half was shared by F. Duncan M. Haldane and J. Michael Kosterlitz. They used math to explain the odd behavior of unusual states of matter.

Less than a decade ago, researchers found a peculiar phase of matter where the electrons of a particular compound would behave in two very distinct phases. Some had spins that were very well ...

An exotic state of matter has been found lurking within a previous exotic state which had discovered in a magnetic compound last decade. In 2016, physicists Weiguo Yin, Christopher Roth, and ...

Physicists with the U.S. Department of Energy have discovered a new phase of matter—and, with apologies to George R. R. Martin, it's something of "a song of ice and fire.". The duo from the ...

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

A team led by a physicist from City University of Hong Kong (CityU) recently developed a new quantum theory that explains the "light-induced phase" of matter and predicts its novel functionalities.

U.S. government scientists have developed a new phase of matter dubbed 'half ice, half fire,' which unites opposing electron spins in a unique magnet.

Human Neurons Are Stuck Between Shifting Phases of Matter, Scientists Say "It seems the brain is in a delicate balance between two phases." 6.16.24, 7:00 AM EDT / Frank Landymore ...
