Recent developments within the field of physics have brought forth a groundbreaking discovery: a new state of matter. This ...

The world of physics is being redefined with the creation of an extraordinary material that challenges the established laws ...

Known as quantum metric, this geometry reflects the curvature of the quantum space in which electrons move. It plays a crucial role in many phenomena at the microscopic scale of matter. Yet detecting ...

Scientists have discovered a new way that matter can exist—one that is different from the usual states of solid, liquid, gas or plasma—at the interface of two exotic materials made into a ...

Some phases of matter cannot be described using the conventional framework of symmetry breaking and exhibit a so-called quantum order. One type of quantum order, known as topological order, is ...

Surface properties play a decisive role in defining the behaviour of condensed matter, underlying phenomena as diverse as capillarity, adhesion, catalysis and electrical conduction.

Structural properties lie at the heart of condensed matter physics, where the periodic arrangement and detailed bonding of atoms dictate the macroscopic behaviours of materials.

There are various models of what dark matter consists of. One would have the consequence that it could literally eat up giant ...

Physicists are exploring thorium-229’s unique properties to create a nuclear clock so precise it could detect the faintest hints of dark matter. Recent measurement advances may allow scientists ...

Here's what all that means. Dark matter is the substance that appears to make up about 27% of our universe, compared to the 5% of our universe composed of "normal" matter.

Physicists working at the CERN particle physics lab said they detected a slight but significant difference in how particles of matter and antimatter decay.
