Scientists said that they have successfully stirred a strange matter called a "supersolid" – which is both rigid and fluid – ...

“We’re looking at matter that’s pushed to its absolute limits,” Broodo said. “Once you figure that out, you have potentially ...

Scientists have officially spotted characteristics of superfluidity (a quantum fluid with zero viscosity) inside a ...

The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) is like an immensely powerful kitchen, designed to cook up some of the rarest and hottest ...

A recent study has proposed a new mechanism for the formation of primordial black holes that could provide answers about dark matter.

The global dependence on fossil fuels, especially in transportation, has dire consequences. These fuels are the largest ...

In a few picoseconds (trillionths of a second), a small, thin piece of copper momentarily becomes dense plasma, specifically a state called warm dense matter, warm being a relative term—the ...

Fusion reactions take place in a state of matter called plasma — a hot, charged gas made of positive ions and free-moving electrons that has unique properties distinct from solids, liquids and gases.

Plasma physics is the study of a state of matter comprising charged particles. Plasmas are usually created by heating a gas until the electrons become detached from their parent atom or molecule.

After 47 years and 15 billion miles, the Plasma Science Experiment aboard NASA’s Voyager 2 spacecraft has been turned off.

For reference, the melting point of bronze is 1,675 degrees Fahrenheit. Plasma is the fourth state of matter — the others being solid, liquid and gas — and was discovered in 1879 by Sir ...

Scientists on Wednesday said that they have successfully stirred a strange matter called a "supersolid" -- which is both rigid and fluid -- for the first time, providing direct proof of the dual ...
