Physicists are now watching matter behave in a way that defies everyday intuition, with atoms and even light itself arranging into structures that are rigid like a crystal yet able to flow like a ...

Some atoms in a liquid stay fixed even at high temperatures, reshaping how solidification starts and enabling an unusual corralled supercooled liquid state. (Nanowerk News) Researchers have discovered ...

For more than a century, schoolbook physics has divided matter into neat categories like solid, liquid, gas, and plasma. A wave of recent experiments is now tearing at those boundaries, revealing ...
