Light and matter can remain at separate temperatures even while interacting with each other for long periods, according to ...

For the first time, physicists have generated and observed stable bright matter-wave solitons with attractive interactions ...

Scientists studying molten metals have uncovered a surprising truth: even in a liquid state, some atoms do not move at all. Credit: SciTechDaily.com Motionless atoms can trap liquid metal in a strange ...

Scientists have discovered a new state of matter that isn't a solid, liquid, or gas. Researchers call this new type of material a 'corralled supercooled liquid'. Atoms in a liquid are normally like ...

Together with an international team, researchers from the Molecular Physics Department at the Fritz Haber Institute have ...

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. Many heavy atoms form from a supernova explosion, the remnants of which are shown in this image. NASA/ESA/Hubble Heritage Team ...

What is dark matter, and can we detect it? This is what a recent study published in Physical Review D hopes to address as a team of international researchers investigated a new method for detecting ...

Physicists developed a technique to arrange atoms in much closer proximity than previously possible, down to 50 nanometers. The group plans to use the method to manipulate atoms into configurations ...

Ultracold atoms sit at the heart of the quantum-technology revolution. India has built a strong and steadily growing presence ...

High school science misses a lot of the science researchers actually work with. For example, you learn that there are three states of matter—solid, liquid, and gas—but in advanced physics, things get ...

New research suggests that the Earth's solid inner core is softer and more dynamic than previously thought, changing ideas.
