In a study published in Science, researchers used silver nanoparticles to assemble a theorized, but never-before observed crystal metallic structure.

By stacking custom-designed silver nanoparticles like nanoscale LEGO bricks, scientists stabilized a mysterious crystal phase that had never been observed before. The material not only solves a ...

Topological phases are unusual states of matter that give rise to properties protected by a material's overall structure (i.e., "topology"), as opposed to microscopic details. These phases are of ...

Magnetic materials in a quantum spin liquid phase are of great interest in the pursuit of exotic state of matter and quantum computation. But in the quantum realm, things are not always what they seem ...

We could soon be able to "see" inside a neutron star and learn what extreme matter governed by exotic physics lurks there, thanks to the imprint of tidal interactions on gravitational waves emitted by ...

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 ...
