Liquids and solutions may seem simple, but at the molecular level they are constantly in motion. When sugar dissolves in water, for example, each ...

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

The ice-melting substance is ubiquitous in many snowy areas. Smart salting is key to minimize its environmental impact ...

High school science misses a lot of the science researchers actually work with. For example, you learn that there are three states of matter—solid, liquid, and gas—but in advanced physics, things get ...

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 ...

Theoretical modelling explores the movement of atoms within a liquid nanodroplet of platinum that is confined inside a defect in a carbon support. The colours represent the mobility of the atoms: ...

Scientists uncovered a quantum spin liquid, a state of matter that may have applications for quantum information. (Nanowerk News) The blue-green lab-grown crystals look like solid rocks, but their ...

Drying can be defined as the vaporization and removal of liquids from a solution, suspension or other solid-liquid mixture to form a dry solid. Drying occurs as a result of the vaporization of liquid ...

Is Ranch Dressing a Liquid or a Solid? Imagine you’re sitting down for dinner. You pick up a bottle of ranch dressing, flip it upside down, and expect it to pour onto your plate. But nothing happens.

Neutrons off a graphene-like honeycomb material emitting light. Credit: Oak Ridge National Laboratory / CC BY 2.0 Scientists have transformed light into a supersolid, a unique form of matter that ...

Researchers at Duke University have uncovered the molecular inner workings of a material that could underpin next-generation rechargeable batteries. Unlike today’s popular lithium-ion batteries that ...
