Researchers at Rutgers University in the US have found a new quantum state where matter can exist. Dubbed quantum liquid crystal, this new state of matter was found when two exotic materials, Weyl ...

At the edge of two exotic materials, scientists have discovered a new state of matter called a "quantum liquid crystal" that ...

Using the Atacama Large Millimeter/ submillimeter Array (ALMA), a system of radio telescopes in Chile, the team detected ...

Scientists have discovered a new quantum state, called quantum liquid crystal, which appears to offer characteristics that ...

This quantum balancing act—long debated by Einstein and Bohr—was tested without traditional “spring” components, instead relying on atomic “fuzziness” to confirm Bohr’s view: you can’t observe both ...

Electrons can travel through silicon as waves, paving the way for smaller and more advanced devices. Scientists at the, ...

This guide offers a comprehensive look at metals, one of the most essential material groups in modern engineering. From their atomic structure to large-scale industrial use, you’ll discover how the ...

For thousands of years, humans have combined metals to collectively harness properties found in individual components, producing such practical materials as bronze, brass and, more recently, steel.

Using nuclear magnetic resonance, researchers at ETH Zurich have studied the atomic environments of single platinum atoms in solid supports as well as their spatial orientation. In the future, this ...

They worked with a topological crystal called a kagome solid, which has layers of atoms arranged in a six-sided starlike pattern. They wanted to see the effect of the topological “ghost field” on the ...
