Solids, liquids, and gases are just the beginning. These are five more states of matter that you probably never knew existed.

Solid is a state of matter in which the molecules are packed closely together and usually arranged in a regular pattern. ... Types of crystalline solids. There are four types of crystalline solids ...

The four fundamental states of matter are solid, liquid, gas and plasma, but there others, such as Bose-Einstein condensates and time crystals, that are man-made.

If you bombard any atom with enough energy, you'll kick the electrons off of it, creating an ionized plasma: the fourth state of matter. But there are two additional states of matter that exist ...

AMHERST — While in our everyday lives, we only interact with three states of matter — solid, liquid and gas. But, when dealing with quantum matter and mechanics, many more states exist. Now, a ...

Exotic states. Now that the chain-melt phase of potassium is confirmed, it joins the known array of other unusual states of matter beyond gas, liquid, and solid.

The new state of matter, called a "bosonic correlated insulator," could lead to the discovery of many new types of exotic materials made from condensed matter, according to the researchers, who ...
