The four fundamental states of matter are solid, liquid, gas and plasma, but there others, such as Bose-Einstein condensates and time crystals, that are man-made.

The most common (and least familiar) of these states in the visible universe is a plasma, an ionized gas composed of ions, electrons and neutral particles. This state of matter exhibits several ...

O nly recently have scientists realized that most of the universe is neither gaseous, liquid or solid. It is plasma, a lively, tricky, often dangerous state of matter whose distinctive ...

There’s also a lot of discussion about what constitutes a new state of matter and if peculiar quantum configurations within an ordinary solid, for example, should be considered states or not.

Solid, liquid, gas, plasma — and a mysterious fifth thing? On Wednesday, scientists at Microsoft confirmed their creation of a quantum computer chip capable of upending technology as we know it.

Plasma is a fascinating medium. It’s considered the fourth state of matter, alongside solid, liquid, and gas. And it is everywhere. Experts say that more than 99.9% of all matter in the universe is in ...

A state of matter defines how these various average properties relate to each other. It defines what we call the equation of state. For example in an ideal gas, pressure is proportional to ...

Scientists have developed a deep learning–based approach that boosts plasma prediction on nuclear fusion by 1,000 times. The ...

Most of us grew up learning there are three main types of matter that matter: solid, liquid, and gas. Today, that changed. After a nearly 20 year pursuit, we’ve created an entirely new state of… ...
