Water isn't just liquid, ice, or vapor — under extreme conditions, it can transform into exotic phases, such as the newly observed plastic ice VII. This hybrid phase, predicted years ago but only ...

In everyday life, we typically encounter water in one of three familiar states—solid, liquid or gas. But there are in fact ...

In everyday life, we typically encounter water in one of three familiar states – solid, liquid or gas. But there are in fact many more phases, some of which – predicted to exist at high temperature ...

Majorana 1 is the first quantum processor with a topological core, designed to scale to a million qubits on a single chip.

Earlier this week we broke down the complexities of mixed-phase precipitation forecasting.Within that we briefly touched on a key component to that complexity w ...
