The behaviour of the tiny particles in each case helps explain the properties of each state of matter at the everyday scale. Freezing, boiling, condensing and other changes of state can also be ...

There are three main states of matter: solid, liquid and gas ... Kinetic energy is due to the motion of the particles relative to each other. It increases as temperature increases.

Brookhaven National Laboratory have discovered a new phase of matter while studying a model system of a magnetic material.

Although usually created from ultracold atoms, scientists have recently successfully observed this quantum state of matter using photons ... one in the centre and the other two at opposite ends ...

Neutron stars present other challenges besides a humongous ... They obtained an equation of state of isospin-dense matter for any isospin chemical potential (the energy change when adding or ...

But scientists can artificially transform substances that occur naturally in only one or two forms of matter into other forms—for ... them morph into different states of matter.
