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

Quantum spin liquids are exotic states of matter in which spins (i.e., the intrinsic angular momentum of electrons) do not ...

The more we learn about the world around us, the more it keeps surprising us with how little we actually know. Case in point: water. The vital, life-sustaining liquid is everywhere. It covers most of ...

The existence of more than two liquid states in a single-component substance and the ensuing liquid–liquid transitions (LLTs) has attracted considerable attention because of its counterintuitive ...

Explore the solid state vs lithium ion debate in this detailed battery technology comparison, highlighting differences in ...

Researchers have discovered that not all atoms in a liquid are in motion and that some remain stationary regardless of the temperature, significantly impacting the solidification process, including ...

Scientists have described a rare 'liquid-to-liquid' phase transition in pure triphenyl phosphite. This may improve our control of transport properties of a liquid. A team at The University of Tokyo ...

(Nanowerk Spotlight) Lasers power modern life, from fiber optic networks that drive internet communications to precision tools that enable complex surgery. Most commercial lasers emit light at fixed ...

Liquid Water’s Secret Phase? Most matter on Earth comes in one of three states or phases — the all-too-familiar solid, liquid, and gas trio. Depending on the environment and how the molecules of a ...
