Students are introduced to the idea that matter is composed of atoms and molecules that are attracted to each other and in constant motion. Students explore the attractions and motion of atoms and ...

Scientists have observed transitions into and out of an exotic state of matter found between liquid and solid in 2-D materials (Sci. Rep. 2021, DOI: 10.1038/s41598-020-80082-x). The hexatic phase ...

AMHERST — While in our everyday lives, we only interact with three states of matter — solid, liquid and gas. But, when dealing with quantum matter and mechanics, many more states exist. Now, a new ...

Jointly with cooperation partners, a researcher of Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) has developed "porous liquids": Nanoparticles, that are able to separate gas molecules of different sizes ...

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: ...

Alfredo has a PhD in Astrophysics and a Master's in Quantum Fields and Fundamental Forces from Imperial College London. Alfredo has a PhD in Astrophysics and a Master's in Quantum Fields and ...

A scientific discovery by researchers at Tel Aviv University's School of Chemistry offers a new perspective on a long-standing scientific mystery: how does a flowing liquid suddenly become a rigid, ...

THE tenets of physics can seem carved in stone. The speed of light is a constant. There are four fundamental forces. Theoretically, rules like these are open to revision. But new contenders had better ...
