The Australian research could lead to new insights about which suns could support life on distant worlds. Find out more.

Flow, level, and pressure monitoring involves the continuous and precise measurement of liquids and gases within industrial systems to ensure optimal performance and safety. This critical process ...

The matter making up the world around us has long-since been organized into three neat categories: solids, liquids and gases. But last month, Microsoft announced that it had allegedly discovered ...

Neutrons off a graphene-like honeycomb material emitting light. Credit: Oak Ridge National Laboratory / CC BY 2.0 Scientists have transformed light into a supersolid, a unique form of matter that ...

Supersolids are a strange quantum state of matter that combines properties of solids and liquids. Now they've gotten even more mind-bending, as scientists have transformed light itself into a ...

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 ...

Scientists have identified a promising new way to detect life on faraway planets, hinging on worlds that look nothing like Earth and gases rarely considered in the search for extraterrestrials. Artist ...
