Solid, liquid and gas: The three basic states of matter we know, but there’s a fourth that’s WAY more common than you might think. This week is all about plasma. * We’re not focusing on the kind you ...

Only recently have scientists realized that most of the universe is neither gaseous, liquid or solid. It is plasma, a lively, tricky, often dangerous state of matter whose distinctive characteristic ...

Researchers have discovered a new type of plasma oscillation that behaves unlike anything seen before. These plasma waves can move independently of the plasma’s physical properties, even faster than ...

In middle and high school, most people learn about the three states of matter we interact with in our everyday lives: solid, liquid and gas. Some students may have even been introduced to the idea of ...

A strange, glowing form of matter called dusty plasma turns out to be incredibly sensitive to magnetic fields. Researchers found that even weak fields can change how tiny particles grow, simply by ...

Warm dense matter occupies the transitional regime between condensed matter and ideal plasmas, characterised by near-solid densities and temperatures of a few to several tens of electronvolts. In this ...
