Explore the fundamental concept of matter in physics, everything that makes up the physical world around us. Matter is not ...

Everything around you - and even your body - is made up of the three phases of matter. Let's find out more. The whole world and everything we can see around us is made up of matter. Matter can be ...

In the 15 January 2004 issue of the journal Nature, two physicists from Penn State University will announce their discovery of a new phase of matter, a "supersolid" form of helium-4 with the ...

The liquid-solid phase transition, Radin and Aristoff reason, should therefore be marked by the “shear response” of a material jumping from zero to a positive value.

Boston College physics professor Kenneth Burch collaborated with a team of researchers from other universities to publish a paper on June 8 detailing the discovery of a new phase of matter in his BC ...

The fundamental phases of matter — solid, liquid, and gas — are well known. But there are many other phases, including ones that emerge when matter is chilled or heated to extreme temperatures.

A supersolid is a paradox of physics — a material that is both solid and liquid at the same time. This contradictory form of matter was first proposed more than 60 years ago, and, for a long ...

Phases of solid hydrogen. The left is the well-studied hexagonal close packed phase, while the right is the new phase predicted by the authors' machine learning-informed simulations. Image by Wesley ...

The search for answers about solid glass has led scientists to make a new phase of matter.; Liquid glass is a slightly ordered middle area between a colloid and a solid. The “transitional ...
