The quantum world is already full of surprises, but a new discovery has added an entire wing to what scientists call the ...

It's not every day that scientists discover a totally new form of matter. Astronomers are announcing one today, or what they think is one. It's a star — maybe two stars — made up of densely packed ...

An exotic phase of matter has been realized on a quantum processor. Matter can exist in different forms, or phases, such as liquid water or solid ice. These phases are usually understood under ...

Recent developments within the field of physics have brought forth a groundbreaking discovery: a new state of matter. This ...

Ultrafine dark matter, millions of times lighter than electrons, could flow through the cosmos in waves. We might just have an easy way to check for tiny interactions between this dark matter and the ...

As kids, you probably learned that matter — the stuff that makes up us and everything else — can come in three different states: solid, liquid, and gas. In high school or college, more exotic forms of ...

In new simulations, 'dark atoms' formed dark stars and could even trigger the formation of black holes. When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an affiliate commission. Here’s how it ...

MIT physicists have shown that it should be possible to create an exotic form of matter that could be manipulated to form the qubit (quantum bit) building blocks of future quantum computers that are ...

RIVERSIDE, Calif. -- Gravitational Waves, ripples in space-time predicted by Einstein almost a century ago, were detected for the first time in 2015. A new study led by Yanou Cui, an associate ...

Information could become the fifth state of matter alongside gas, plasma, liquid, and solid states. A scientist has proposed ...

E = mc² is a simplified form of the more complete equation E² = (mc²)² + (pc)², where the term 'pc' accounts for kinetic energy. The equation E = mc² accurately reflects the relationship between ...
