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 ...

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

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 ...

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 ...

Mundane as it may seem, glass is a surprisingly mysterious material. Now scientists at the University of Konstanz have identified a new state of matter called liquid glass, which has some unusual ...

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 ...

Liquid–liquid transition is an intriguing phenomenon in which a liquid transforms into another liquid via the first-order transition. For molecular liquids, however, it always takes place in a ...

(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 ...

In a recent national USA TODAY Network poll, an IPA from Ithaca’s Liquid State Brewing Company made top of the list. A panel of industry experts ranked Liquid State’s Liquid Crush – a New ...

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 ...
