Scientists discover a new solid-liquid hybrid state in nanoparticles, revealing unique properties crucial for improving ...
For more than a century, schoolbook physics has divided matter into neat categories like solid, liquid, gas, and plasma. A wave of recent experiments is now tearing at those boundaries, revealing ...
The 'superionic ice' can't make up its mind between being a solid or liquid.
"Robot" made of shape-shifting matter liquefies to escape jail By Michael Irving January 30, 2023 A humanoid "robot" made of a phase-change material shifts from solid and liquid to escape jail, in ...
A quirky material that behaves like a mishmash of liquid and solid could be hidden deep in the Earth. Computer simulations described in two studies suggest that the material in Earth’s inner core, ...
The state of matter is a deceptively simple concept. It turns out that any material, no matter what it is made of, can exist in one of three forms: solid, liquid or gas. These are categories of stuff ...
In school, students are taught that matter is either solid, liquid, or gas. Now, physicists discover that atoms can actually exist as solid and liquid simultaneously. It turns out, when certain ...
