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

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 ...

Access to cash can make or break your ability to survive financial emergencies or even secure a mortgage. But access to cash doesn’t always mean having currency in your wallet. Liquid assets can be ...

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

Physicists are now watching matter behave in a way that defies everyday intuition, with atoms and even light itself arranging ...

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: ...

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

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 ...

Imagine you're eating dinner. You try to pour some ranch dressing onto your plate to dip your veggies into. You tip the container upside down, but nothing comes out. Seems like a solid. So you shake ...
