Liquids and solutions may look simple, but on the molecular scale they are constantly shifting and reorganizing. When sugar dissolves in water, each sugar molecule quickly becomes surrounded by fast ...

Scientists have found a way to see ultrafast molecular interactions inside liquids using an extreme laser technique once ...

Scientists grow ultra-uniform perovskite nanocrystals at room temperature, boosting yields and brighter light for future ...

Liquid–liquid equilibria (LLE) in ternary systems concerns the conditions under which a three-component mixture divides into two immiscible liquid phases. At the heart of these phenomena is a delicate ...

The liquid crystals used in displays nowadays are usually in a nematic phase, i.e. a liquid-like state of almost parallel oriented molecules. However, there is another liquid crystal phase which has a ...

When liquids containing small particles evaporate, those fluids often leave behind fingerprints like coffee rings or whiskey webs (SN: 10/31/19). But liquids mixed with other liquids leave their own ...

Scientists have discovered a way to write directly into liquid water, creating clear and long-lasting patterns which float below the surface of the fluid. In the new study, published Aug. 21 in the ...

Interesting formations: an example of droplet shapes that are produced when an electric field is applied to an oil mixture. (Courtesy: Aalto University) When a simple system of two liquids is driven ...

It takes guts to attempt running across the surface of a liquid. Even more so if a sneaky physicist is nearby. Oobleck is a non-Newtonian fluid, meaning that its viscosity changes depending upon the ...

The separation process can be conducted using various instruments, but the most fitting method depends on the mixture’s properties. This article covers the importance of solid-liquid separation in the ...
