For more than a century, schoolbook physics has divided matter into neat categories like solid, liquid, gas, and plasma. A ...

This corralled supercooled liquid relies on the surprising property that some atoms in a liquid remain stationary regardless ...

Normally, when liquids solidify, their molecules become locked in place, making it much harder for ions to move and leading ...

Download the experiment instructions HERE! Let’s learn about the properties of liquids and solids: Solids are not compressible, they’re rigid, they don’t flow, and their particles are packed close ...

I've been baking for years and I know that there is supposed to be a difference between liquid and solid measures. But what is the difference? It seems to be only in the larger measures, as I haven't ...

The new materials conduct ions equally well as liquids, liquid crystals, and solids, with no steep decrease in ion movement ...

New research offers clearer insight into how phase transitions unfold at the atomic scale in real materials. When ice turns into water, the change happens almost instantly. Once the melting ...

Scientists unveil a solid electrolyte that moves lithium as fast as liquids, promising safer, fast-charging batteries.

Scientists have discovered a new state of matter that isn't a solid, liquid, or gas. Researchers call this new type of material a 'corralled supercooled liquid'. Atoms in a liquid are normally like ...

Millirobots with tunable adhesive microstructures grip and release solids and liquids in both air and underwater environments using magnetic control. (Nanowerk Spotlight) Magnetic soft robots have ...
