Physicists at CERN have recreated a state of matter from the Universe’s first moments by colliding atomic nuclei far smaller than previously expected. The experiment produced quark-gluon plasma while ...

It is too early to predict practical applications. For now, the main importance of the research is that it expands scientists ...

It can be found inside gas giants such as Jupiter and is briefly created during meteorite impacts or in laser fusion experiments: warm dense matter. This exotic state of matter combines features of ...

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 ...

Bose-Einstein condensates (BECs) are fascinating states of matter that emerge when atoms or molecules are cooled to extremely low temperatures just slightly above absolute zero (0 K). In 2023, ...

SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (KELO) — A particle reaction, potentially revealing dark matter, was observed in a recent experiment by the Sanford Underground Research Facility (SURF) in Lead, SD. Tuesday, an ...

An international team of scientists says it has detected an intriguing signal that could hint at evidence of dark matter, offering a clue that might bring the mystery of the elusive substance one step ...

Dark matter is some kind of substance that has gravity—it holds galaxies together—yet cannot be directly seen with any instrument yet created. We know it’s out there because of the effects it has on ...
