Solid, liquid, gas, plasma — and a mysterious fifth thing? On Wednesday, scientists at Microsoft confirmed their creation of a quantum computer chip capable of upending technology as we know it.

Scientists have achieved a breakthrough in quantum physics, successfully creating a supersolid state using light for the ...

Solids have their own defined shape that won’t change without an external force being applied. Liquids have ... The next most familiar is plasma, which is much like a gas except here many ...

we tend to encounter matter mainly in three distinct phases—solid, liquid and gases. (Although you may come across plasma in the form of fluorescent lights.) "At temperatures close to absolute ...

solid, liquid and gas. Think ice cube, a puddle of water and steam. Maybe you also learned about a fourth state, known as plasma. These different states are defined by how the extremely tiny molecules ...

Everything that has mass is matter. In normal everyday life we come across matter in three states, solid, liquid and gas. They have a fixed shape and cannot flow The particles cannot move from ...

The study was published in the journal Nature in January. Cold plasma is the fourth state of matter alongside solid, liquid and gas. It’s created by electrical discharge in a low-pressure gas. It’s ...

But unlike liquids and solids, gases can also change their size or volume. A plasma is similar to a gas but has much more energy. This energy causes the electrically charged parts of the molecules ...
