Physicists have taken a step that sounds like science fiction: they have coaxed light into behaving as a “supersolid,” a ...

Physicists have engineered photons that behave as if they inhabit a space far richer than the familiar three dimensions, ...

Our universe plays by certain rules, which originate from different branches of physics. But sometimes the rules seem ...

For the first time, researchers transformed light into a quantum crystalline structure to create a "supersolid" that's both solid and liquid at the same time. Here’s what that means, and why it's such ...

Scientists have observed a unique particle that moves easily one way, yet resists at 90 degrees. These semi-Dirac fermions were observed using their energy signature in a topological metal. Particles ...

About 80% of the universe's mass is thought to consist of dark matter. Yet, little is known about the composition and structure of the particles that make up dark matter, presenting physicists with ...
