Scientists have discovered a new state of matter that isn't a solid, liquid, or gas. Researchers call this new type of ...

When ice melts into water, it happens quickly, with the transition from solid to liquid being immediate. However, very thin ...

Researchers from Rutgers University have discovered a new way in which matter can exist. Dubbed a “Quantum Liquid Crystal,” this previously unknown quantum state expands researchers’ understanding of ...

Everyone knows solid, liquid, and gas—but what about time crystals, quark-gluon plasma, and Bose-Einstein condensates? Science has uncovered far stranger states of matter, many of which behave in ways ...

At the edge of two exotic materials, scientists have discovered a new state of matter called a "quantum liquid crystal" that behaves unlike anything we've seen before. When a conductive Weyl semimetal ...

Scientists have discovered a new way that matter can exist—one that is different from the usual states of solid, liquid, gas or plasma—at the interface of two exotic materials made into a sandwich.

Scientists have discovered a new way that matter can exist – one that is different from the usual states of solid, liquid, gas or plasma – at the interface of two exotic, materials made into a ...

EU researchers have brought supersolid light to life in the lab and are now exploring how this strange new state of matter could power real-world technologies. Can light ever be a solid? It turns out ...

Is Ranch Dressing a Liquid or a Solid? Imagine you’re sitting down for dinner. You pick up a bottle of ranch dressing, flip it upside down, and expect it to pour onto your plate. But nothing happens.
