Researchers have created humanoid, miniature robots that can shapeshift and turn into liquid. The breakthrough could allow for the creation of more robots that can shift between liquid and solid ...

The latest experiment also represents the first time the LZ team applied a technique called “salting,” in which false WIMP signals were added in advance. This helped the researchers—who, of course, ...

By using light to emulate the structure of space-time, researchers can better understand black holes – and the exotic objects that mimic them ...

Physicists have long theorized the existence of a unique state of matter known as a quantum spin liquid. In this state, magnetic particles do not settle into an orderly pattern, even at absolute ...

The whole world and everything we can see around us is made up of matter. Matter can be ob-served because its mass can be weighed and it takes up space."Material" is matter with a specific function.

A groundbreaking new method developed at the University of Osaka calculates the entropy of liquids using a non-empirical ...

Liquid glass gets moving. New forms of ice aren’t the only new kind of matter being cooked up in physics labs. At the beginning of 2021 a team of scientists from the University of Konstanz ...

Matter can exist in different states—an ice cube, a glass of water, and the steam from a kettle are all forms of H 2 O. But those are only the states we see most often in everyday life.

Objects with a higher density feel heavier for their size because more matter is packed into the same space. Density can be measured in lots of different units, but the most commonly used units ...

Researchers at MIT have discovered a new state of matter with a new kind of magnetism. This new state, called a quantum spin liquid (QSL), could lead to significant advances in data storage. QSLs ...
