Physicists with the U.S. Department of Energy have discovered a new phase of matter—and, with apologies to George R. R. Martin, it's something of "a song of ice and fire." The new phase comes in the ...

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 ...

Supersolid light, a newly discovered phase of matter, represents a groundbreaking leap in our understanding of physics. This phenomenon combines properties of both solids and superfluids, resulting in ...

A new ordered phase of matter has been discovered by Caltech researchers, which has big implications for superconductors – materials that conduct electricity with no resistance. The team thinks that ...

Scientists at the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) Brookhaven National Laboratory discovered a new phase a matter called “half-ice, half-fire.” This elemental moniker is a reference to the ordered ...

In this lab, you will fill out a foldable on the three primary states of matter. Then you will watch a video showing ice melting from a solid to a liquid and boiling from a liquid to a gas. After ...
