New research predicts surprisingly large CP violation effects in charmed baryon decays, an essential step toward solving the ...

Scientists observe CP violation in baryons, a key clue in understanding why matter dominates the universe over antimatter.

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

Newly issued U.S. composition of matter patent expected to provide exclusivity into 2042, with subsequent opportunity for patent term extension - ...

Explore the fundamental concept of matter in physics, everything that makes up the physical world around us. Matter is not only a cornerstone of our understanding of the universe, but it also plays a ...

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 systems ...

According to the paper, as they furthered their research into 'half fire, half ice,' they discovered a 'half ice, half fire' phase in which the behavior of electrons in the two different ...

WashU physicists shine a microwave laser into a chunk of diamond to create a time quasicrystal, a new phase of matter that repeats precise patterns in time and space. Credit: WashU In a new and ...

Quantum physicists have created a new phase of matter inside a diamond. Their new "time quasicrystal" is special as it is crystallized in four dimensions: the three physical dimensions, plus time.

Physicists also hope to use these studies to decipher other exotic phases of matter where vortices are expected to play a key role, such as in high-temperature superconductors. Meanwhile, astronomers ...

Human Neurons Are Stuck Between Shifting Phases of Matter, Scientists Say "It seems the brain is in a delicate balance between two phases." ...

Based on fractal patterns in neurons, researchers believe our brains exist at or near a state called criticality where they're extremely close to shifting from one state of matter to another. They ...
