Most of us recognize basic phases of matter and their properties: solids maintain their shape, liquids flow freely with constant volume, and gases ...

Some phases of matter cannot be described using the conventional framework of symmetry breaking and exhibit a so-called quantum order. One type of quantum order, known as topological order, is ...

Phases of matter are the basic states that matter can take—like water that can occur in a liquid or ice phase. Traditionally, these phases are defined under equilibrium conditions, where the system is ...

Physicists have created the first two-dimensional version of the Bose glass, a novel phase of matter that challenges statistical mechanics. Physicists from the Cavendish Laboratory in Cambridge have ...

Summary: Physicists at the University of Cambridge have created a two-dimensional Bose glass, a novel phase of matter that defies conventional statistical mechanics and could have implications for ...

Physicists at Brookhaven National Laboratory in Upton, New York have identified a previously unknown phase of matter hidden inside a magnetic compound, one with a paradoxical internal structure that ...
