In the first microsecond after the Big Bang, all the matter that would eventually become the observable Universe existed in a hot, dense, primordial Quark-Gluon Plasma (QGP) phase. While we know that ...

The new phase comes in the form of a pattern of electron ... those states—are central problems in the fields of condensed matter physics and materials science," said paper author Weiguo Yin ...

Discovering and controlling exotic physical states is key in condensed matter physics and materials science. It has the ...

This basic model is, however, just that: there are many, many more states of matter out there that it doesn’t capture. The next most familiar is plasma, which is much like a gas except here many ...

Two scientists at the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) Brookhaven National Laboratory have discovered a new phase of matter while studying a model system of a magnetic material. The phase is a ...

Plasma physics is the study of a state of matter comprising charged particles ... below 0.05% while preserving small emittance in quasi-phase-stable acceleration.

Technology for converting solar energy into thermal energy is ever evolving and has numerous applications. A breakthrough in the laboratory of Professor My Ali El Khakani at Institut national de la ...

To do this, they measured the photoluminescence spectrum of a WS 2 sample integrated with a Fabry-Pérot cavity, which ultimately unveiled signatures of an electron-hole plasma phase. "Together ...
