Physicists have finally watched a fluid that should never freeze lock itself into a crystal pattern, then melt back again, ...

Physicists saw excitons, a type of quasiparticle, undergo a reversible phase transition from superfluid to supersolid for the first time, opening new doors for studying extreme states of matter.

New York, November 12, 2025 — A research team at the City University of New York and the University of Texas at Austin has discovered a way to make previously hidden states of light, known as dark ...

Excitons, bound states between an electron (i.e., a negatively charged particle) and a hole (i.e., the absence of an electron) in materials, are a key focus of condensed matter physics studies. These ...

Scientists enable excitons to surpass light to transform materials and open new advanced paths to quantum devices.
