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 ...

For some background, plasma is the fourth state of matter, often created by heating a neutral gas or ionizing the gas in a strong electromagnetic field. The availability of free electrons allows ...

Ninety-nine per cent of visible matter in the Universe is plasma. This fourth fundamental state of matter is important not just because it is so commonly found, but also because plasma ...

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 ...

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 ...

Plasma — sometimes referred to as the fourth state of matter — is matter that is so hot that the electrons are pulled away forming an ionized gas. That sounds exotic compared to gasses ...

Dr. Williams joined the Department of Physics at Hope College in fall 2019. His research is focused in the subfield of physics concerning the fourth state of matter, plasma. Plasmas are hot, ...

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.

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 ...
