The discovery that helium and iron can mix at the temperatures and pressures found at the center of Earth could settle a long ...

Discover the groundbreaking transformation of light into a supersolid, a unique state of matter that exhibits both solid and ...

Scientists have transformed light into a supersolid, a breakthrough merging solid and liquid properties in quantum physics.

Helium is a very light gas, and most volatile gases have long since escaped the mantle, having been blown away during the giant impact that formed the moon or churned to the surface by the ...

Light was turned into a quasiparticle that simultaneously behaved like a crystal and wave.

For the first time, researchers transformed light into a quantum crystalline structure to create a "supersolid" that's both ...

Helium normally has trouble bonding with other ... it tends to do at ambient temperatures on account of it being a very light gas). Going into the experiment, the researchers predicted that ...

It's a bird; it's a plane!! It's a ... cloud?! No, it's a massive, once-military-grade hover-capable blimp designed to ...

After all this heat and pressure, the researchers cryogenically froze a sample of the resulting compound to study it up close ...

That’s why Pulsar exists.” Helium has some unique properties that make it particularly valuable, far beyond its most commonly known uses. It’s extremely light and nonreactive. NASA uses it ...
