Physicists May Have Discovered an Entirely New State of Matter — And It Forms at the Coldest Temperatures in the Universe
There is a regime of nature in which motion stops matter from revealing what it is. Most of the time,…
Scientists Spin a “Quantum Paradox” — Supersolid Starts Dancing in Sync Under Rotation
Most states of matter obey a kind of loyalty: a solid holds shape, a fluid flows, and a superfluid flows…
Physicists Catch Photons “Choosing Sides” — Light Particles Seen Following the Crowd for the First Time
If photons could speak, they would not tell stories of heroism or independence. They would talk about consensus. Unlike the…
Scientists Crack the Nuclear Code Behind Gold’s Cosmic Birth for the First Time
You cannot wear gold unless a nucleus somewhere, some time, decayed. That fact alone should alter the way we look…
Physicists Say the Universe May Have Begun With Knots — and They Might Explain Why Anything Exists at All
In 1867, Lord Kelvin proposed a picture of atoms that now sounds almost mythic. He imagined that atoms were not…
