Physicists begin to shed light on one of the most important questions regarding quantum spin liquids, and they do so by introducing a new phase of matter. Quantum spin liquids are difficult to explain ...

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. A team of researchers from Switzerland and France and theoretical physicists in Canada and the U.S., including Rice University, ...

Liquid crystals occupy a fascinating state of matter that bridges the fluidity of liquids and the long-range order of crystalline solids. These materials, characterised by their mesomorphic properties ...

Researchers have discovered that not all atoms in a liquid are in motion and that some remain stationary regardless of the temperature, significantly impacting the solidification process, including ...

Physicists have long theorized the existence of a unique state of matter known as a quantum spin liquid. In this state, magnetic particles do not settle into an orderly pattern, even at absolute zero ...

We explore Supercritical Fluids and how being "in the between" is their superpower. Supercritical Fluids are one the strangest states of matter and yet they are found everywhere from Decaf Coffee, to ...

Understanding solids and gases is based on theories of their most basic properties, such as energy and heat capacity. These theories were developed more than 100 years ago. On the other hand, no ...

Theoretical physicists along with an experimental team have found evidence of a quantum spin liquid in a material known as pyrochlore cerium stannate. They achieved this by combining state-of-the-art ...
