Quantum spin liquids are exotic states of matter in which spins (i.e., the intrinsic angular momentum of electrons) do not ...

For more than a century, schoolbook physics has divided matter into neat categories like solid, liquid, gas, and plasma. A ...

Scientists have discovered that Earth’s inner core may not be fully solid. A rare “superionic” state of matter could explain ...

By firing tiny projectiles of iron-carbon alloy from a high-speed cannon, scientists have finally demonstrated that a weird ...

A team of researchers from Switzerland and France and theoretical physicists in Canada and the U.S., including Rice University, believe they have found evidence of a theorized quantum phenomenon ...

Physicists are now watching matter behave in a way that defies everyday intuition, with atoms and even light itself arranging ...

Gear-obsessed editors choose every product we review. We may earn commission if you buy from a link. Why Trust Us? Broomfield, Colorado-based Quantinuum studies a particular quantum computer that’s ...

In middle and high school, most people learn about the three states of matter we interact with in our everyday lives: solid, liquid and gas. Some students may have even been introduced to the idea of ...

Plasma happens when gas gets heated to a very high temperature and the atoms lose their electrons. Find out more about this state of matter. Science Trek is available to stream on pbs.org and the free ...

Major Funding by the Laura Moore Cunningham Foundation and the Idaho National Laboratory. Additional Funding by the Friends of Idaho Public Television and the Corporation for Public Broadcasting.

Plasma happens when gas gets heated to a very high temperature and the atoms lose their electrons. Find out more about this state of matter. Science Trek is available to stream on pbs.org and the free ...

In this lab, students will fill out a foldable on the three primary states of matter. Students will watch a video showing ice melting from a solid to a liquid and boiling from a liquid to a gas.
