A series of experiments studying complex plasmas is taking place on board the international space station ISS. Physicists from Germany will use these experiments to study fundamental structure forming ...

For more than a century, schoolbook physics has divided matter into neat categories like solid, liquid, gas, and plasma. A wave of recent experiments is now tearing at those boundaries, revealing ...

At school, when we are still young, we are taught about the three main states of matter, which are liquid, gas, and solid – these are common knowledge. Then, it is already a shock when we discover ...

At school we are taught there are four states of matter: solid, liquid, gas, and plasma. In reality, we now know of fifteen states (give-or-take) and counting. At school we are taught there are four ...
