Plasma happens when gas gets heated to a very high temperature and the atoms lose their electrons. Find out more about this state of matter. Science Trek is available to stream on pbs.org and the free ...

Pushing scientists closer than ever to understanding the Big Bang, physicists have finally measured the temperature of ...

A research team led by Rice University physicist Frank Geurts has successfully measured the temperature of quark-gluon plasma ...

Researchers have successfully created and sustained a Bose-Einstein condensate—the fifth state of matter—aboard the ISS for ...

Everyone knows solid, liquid, and gas—but what about time crystals, quark-gluon plasma, and Bose-Einstein condensates? Science has uncovered far stranger states of matter, many of which behave in ways ...

Your science textbook likely told you that matter exists in four states. You know them as solid, liquid, gas, and plasma. For generations, this understanding formed the foundation of physics. Now, a ...
