In the intricate world of quantum physics, where particles interact in ways that seem to defy the standard rules of space and ...

Less than a decade ago, researchers found a peculiar phase of matter where the electrons of a particular compound would behave in two very distinct phases. Some had spins that were very well ...

Two scientists at the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) Brookhaven National Laboratory have discovered a new phase of matter while studying a model system of a magnetic material. The phase is a ...

Researchers at the University of Hong Kong used special models to simulate the phase transition from one quantum state to ...

When matter changes from one state to another, it's called a phase change. So, what causes a phase change? Well, there are a few different things. One is to change the temperature. Make it cold ...

Scientists from the Institute of Modern Physics (IMP) at the Chinese Academy of Sciences have made a breakthrough in ...

“This opens a new way to create and control phases of matter using ideas from cavity quantum electrodynamics,” Hazzard said. Moreover, the crystal used in this study is one example of a ...
