Electricity powers our lives, including our cars, phones, computers, and more, through the movement of electrons within a circuit. While we can't see these electrons, electric currents moving through ...

European scientists discover a new state of quantum matter in CeRu4Sn6 that challenges physics and changes our view of the universe.

Quantum computing has often been hailed as the next frontier in technology, promising to solve problems far beyond the ...

Scientists have discovered a new way that matter can exist—one that is different from the usual states of solid, liquid, gas or plasma—at the interface of two exotic materials made into a sandwich.

Electricity powers our lives, including our cars, phones, computers and more, through the movement of electrons within a circuit. While we can’t see these electrons, electric currents moving through a ...

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 ...

Microsoft’s Majorana 1 chip contains eight topological qubits. John Brecher for Microsoft While traditional computing currently relies on bits, quantum computing utilizes qubits—a unit of information ...

REDMOND — Anyone who has sat through a third-grade science class knows three primary states of matter exist: solid, liquid and gas. Microsoft now says it has created a new state of matter in its quest ...

Electrons can freeze into strange geometric crystals and then melt back into liquid-like motion under the right quantum conditions. Researchers identified how to tune these transitions and even ...

Microsoft has debuted an experimental new computer chip which it claims utilizes a new state of matter for quantum computing. On Wednesday Microsoft announced a breakthrough, calling it a major step ...

Plasma happens when gas gets heated to a very high temperature and the atoms lose their electrons. Find out more about this state of matter. Science Trek is available to stream on pbs.org and the free ...
