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

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

How do scientists use the states of matter to create new inventions? Scientists care about the state of matter so they can explain why things happen or how to develop new uses. Meet a material ...

At the edge of two exotic materials, scientists have discovered a new state of matter called a "quantum liquid crystal" that behaves unlike anything we've seen before. When a conductive Weyl semimetal ...

Phases of matter are the basic states that matter can take—like water that can occur in a liquid or ice phase. Traditionally, ...

In a leap forward for quantum computing, a Microsoft team led by UC Santa Barbara physicists on Wednesday unveiled an eight-qubit topological quantum processor, the first of its kind. The chip, built ...

Quantum computing has often been hailed as the next frontier in technology, promising to solve problems far beyond the ...

Microsoft’s new “topological qubit” is not based on a solid, liquid or gas. It is another phase of matter that many experts did not think was possible. Microsoft’s new quantum chip is based a new ...

Researchers at the University of California, Irvine have discovered a new state of quantum matter. The state exists within a material that the team reports could lead to a new era of self-charging ...

Microsoft’s Majorana 1 chip contains eight topological qubits. John Brecher for Microsoft While traditional computing currently relies on bits, quantum computing utilizes qubits—a unit of information ...

Phases of matter are the basic states that matter can take - like water that can occur in a liquid or ice phase. Traditionally, these phases are defined under equilibrium conditions, where the system ...
