A flash of light traps this material in an excited state indefinitely, and new experiments reveal how it happens.

Quantum field theory's vacuum concept challenges classical views, revealing a metastable state that influences cosmic ...

Earlier this month Vodeb and his colleagues published the findings of their cosmic bubble simulation in Nature Physics. Using ...

Metastable epialleles are alleles that are variably expressed in genetically identical individuals due to epigenetic modifications established during early development and are thought to be ...

By applying intense pulses of terahertz-frequency light to this material, they were able to control this transition, placing the material in a metastable magnetic state that lasts for more than 2.5 ...

Nearly half a century ago, physicists proposed that the universe might be trapped in a metastable state known as a false vacuum. This state appears stable but could, over immense timescales, ...

We had a particularly great week for new research findings, in my opinion. I mean, stories like a 2% improvement in a ...

New research, working toward ambient-pressure high-temperature superconductivity, brings us one step closer to finding superconductors that work in everyday conditions -- and potentially unlocking a ...
