Quantum Matter Is Changing in Ways Scientists Never Saw Before

Quantum Matter Is Changing in Ways Scientists Never Saw Before

MIT physicists have observed, for the first time, how different electron phases emerge and coexist in a quantum material. Laser pulses revealed two distinct transition mechanisms: one phase returns uniformly, while another forms isolated pockets that expand like ice in water.

The discovery could help scientists control complex electronic properties and advance quantum devices and next-generation superconductors.

Can Anything Really Travel Faster Than Light?

Can Anything Really Travel Faster Than Light?

Why can’t anything with mass travel faster than light? Einstein’s relativity shows that the speed of light is more than a speed limit—it is a fundamental boundary imposed by space-time and causality.E...
