Discover how the arrangement of particles in matter influences its physical properties like hardness, flexibility, and conductivity. Next, explain the states of matter: solid, liquid, gas, and plasma.

In a groundbreaking achievement, physicists have successfully created the fifth state of matter, Bose-Einstein Condensate (BEC), in the weightless environment of space. This marks a major leap forward ...

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 ...
