The future of computing lies in the surprising world of quantum physics, where the rules are much different from the ones ...

Boise State faculty from the Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry and the Department of Computer Science were awarded a ...

Scientists are closer to creating a quantum spin liquid, a state where electron spins stay dynamic even at near absolute zero ...

Scientists have uncovered a key finding to one of water's unique properties: at high pressure and low temperature, liquid water separates into two distinct liquid phases -- one high-density and one ...

Discover how liquid in a tumbler forms a vortex, balancing rotation, pressure, and gravity in a funnel-shaped spiral.

Scientists have forced a solid magnetic metal into a spin liquid state, which may lead to insights into superconductivity and quantum computing. It sounds like a riddle: What do you get if you take ...

Download the experiment instructions HERE! Let’s learn about the properties of liquids and solids: Solids are not compressible, they’re rigid, they don’t flow, and their particles are packed close ...

In response to a question from reader Derryck Morton, this article explores whether liquids can exist in the vacuum of space. The piece explains that the existence of liquids requires a specific range ...

Aluminum and magnesium are among the “many” metals that melt at lower temperatures under extremely high pressure. The results came from a quantum computer simulation, but model real materials ...

Diamonds in nature famously form under immense pressure in Earth’s mantle. But a new laboratory technique allows diamonds to skip the squeeze. The most common method for producing synthetic diamonds, ...
