Solid-state batteries are an old technology, but they have only been used for very small devices like hearing aids and ...

Physicists have observed a strange new quantum phase in a graphene-based system, where a superfluid appears to freeze into a solid-like state. Cooling usually pushes matter through a simple sequence.

Ordinary matter, when cooled, transitions from a gas into a liquid. Cool it further still, and it freezes into a solid.

Charge density waves (CDWs) are ordered, crystal-like patterns in the arrangement of electrons that spontaneously form inside ...

Two years ago, our cooking columnist Yewande Komolafe woke from a coma and soon learned her body would be profoundly altered.

When materials become just one atom thick, melting no longer follows the familiar rules. Instead of jumping straight from solid to liquid, an unusual in-between state emerges, where atomic positions ...
