which don't have electrical charge and can act as either matter or antimatter. One idea is that about a million years after the Big Bang, the universe cooled and underwent a phase transition, an ...

A study by Dartmouth researchers proposes a new theory about the origin of dark matter, the mysterious and invisible substance thought to give the universe its shape and structure. They say the ...

Physicists with the U.S. Department of Energy have discovered a new phase of ... control the transitions between those states—are central problems in the fields of condensed matter physics ...

A team of researchers proposes a surprising origin for dark matter. Their model draws inspiration from the remarkable ...

Scientists led by Hanns-Christoph Nägerl have observed anyons - quasiparticles that differ from the familiar fermions and ...

Known as a superradiant phase transition (SRPT), the phenomenon occurs ... forming a new state of matter. The discovery was made in a crystal composed of erbium, iron, and oxygen that was cooled ...

Scientists at Northwestern University have identified components of neurons that match up to materials undergoing a phase shift – a transition from one state of matter, like a liquid ...

Dark matter, though invisible, weighs heavily on how we understand the universe. Its gravity sculpts galaxies, holds clusters ...

My research interests are thermodynamics and statistical mechanics of condensed matter systems, phase transitions and critical phenomena, Ising model and other spin models, solid-liquid phase ...

Dark matter may have started as light-like particles that abruptly became heavy—a cosmic twist rooted in spin and ...
