AMHERST — While in our everyday lives, we only interact with three states of matter — solid, liquid and gas. But, when dealing with quantum matter and mechanics, many more states exist. Now, a new ...

On Earth, hydrogen exists in solid, liquid, or gaseous states, but remains a non-metal due to its tightly bound electrons. Within Jupiter and Saturn, extreme pressure and temperature transform ...

Scientists have discovered a new state of physical matter in which atoms can exist as both solid and liquid simultaneously. Scientists have discovered a new state of physical matter in which atoms can ...

Hydrogen, the most abundant element in the universe, is found everywhere from the dust filling most of outer space to the cores of stars to many substances here on Earth. This would be reason enough ...

Solid, liquid, gas … and something else? While most of us learn about just three states of matter in elementary school, physicists have discovered several exotic varieties that can exist under extreme ...

THE tenets of physics can seem carved in stone. The speed of light is a constant. There are four fundamental forces. Theoretically, rules like these are open to revision. But new contenders had better ...

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 ...
