At temperatures approaching absolute zero, most magnetic materials settle into tidy patterns. Their tiny magnetic moments, or ...

Scientists have discovered a new state of matter that isn't a solid, liquid, or gas. Researchers call this new type of material a 'corralled supercooled liquid'. Atoms in a liquid are normally like ...

Spin liquids are a fascinating and elusive state of matter that has captivated the attention of physicists and material scientists. The term "liquid" in spin liquids draws an analogy to the fluid ...

Some atoms in a liquid stay fixed even at high temperatures, reshaping how solidification starts and enabling an unusual corralled supercooled liquid state. (Nanowerk News) Researchers have discovered ...

Physicists begin to shed light on one of the most important questions regarding quantum spin liquids, and they do so by introducing a new phase of matter. Quantum spin liquids are difficult to explain ...

Adapted from an article run in CU Boulder Today by Daniel Strain A team led by RASEI Fellow Ivan Smalyukh has discovered a new type of liquid crystal that exists in perpetual, rhythmic motion, ...
