Researchers at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (RPI) have created a new and unusual state of matter—known as a supersolid—by engineering how light and matter interact inside a nanoscale device. The ...

Researchers were shocked to discover that what was thought to be a quantum state is actually an entirely new phase of matter.

Deep beneath our feet, far below the crust and mantle, researchers now argue that matter behaves in a way that does not fit the familiar categories of solid or liquid. At the center of Earth, they say ...

Magnetic materials in a quantum spin liquid phase are of great interest in the pursuit of exotic state of matter and quantum ...

At TU Wien, researchers have discovered a state in a quantum material that had previously been considered impossible. The definition of topological states should be generalized. The work is published ...
