Physicists have watched a quantum fluid do something once thought almost impossible: stop moving. In experiments with ...

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 ...

A research team demonstrates that palm-based handicraft processing wastes—specifically tagua nut and bodhi root—can be ...

Measuring conditions in volatile clouds of superheated gases known as plasmas is central to pursuing greater scientific ...

Scientists at the U.S. Naval Research Laboratory are developing the next generation of solid-fuel ramjet (SFRJ) propulsion, ...

Physicists have observed a strange new quantum phase in a graphene-based system, where a superfluid appears to freeze into a solid-like state. Cooling usually pushes matter through a simple sequence.

Hydrogen has long been pitched as the clean fuel that could power heavy industry, long-haul trucks, and even aircraft without pumping carbon into the atmosphere. The catch is that most of today’s ...

The 20th century was marked by the discovery of exotic states of matter. First, liquid helium was observed to flow without friction at extremely low temperatures, a phase now known as superfluid. Soon ...

Although superfluids flow indefinitely, scientists just witnessed one stopping. It could be evidence of a superfluid transitioning into a supersolid.

When everyday matter is cooled, it follows a familiar path. A gas becomes a liquid, and with further cooling, that liquid turns into a solid. Quantum ...

Scientists at the US Naval Research Laboratory (NRL) have achieved significant progress in the ...
