“Our achievement may herald a new form of matter combining characteristics of solids and liquids in the same material,” ...

Elisa Oviedo transforms water from liquid to solid. Elisa Oviedo and her niece change water from liquid to solid using a freezer. Then they heat water up on the stove until it turns into gas. Elisa ...

Researchers have discovered that not all atoms in a liquid are in motion and that some remain stationary regardless of the ...

Liquids are softer than solids, so incorporating droplets of a liquid into a solid will always make it weaker ... right? Actually, no. Scientists at Yale University have discovered that if the drops ...

In a paper in Nature, Gökçe et al. 1 report a clever solution to a fundamental problem in microfluidics: a simple and inexpensive method for delivering a liquid to multiple dried reagents that doesn’t ...

Understanding the behavior of tiny droplets in our cells could aid the search for new treatments. A team of Leiden researchers has developed a method to study how these droplets transition from liquid ...

Oddball gallium, which melts below body temperature, stars in a new microscope study. A mixture of gallium and copper showed spontaneous flip-flopping from liquid to solid. The flip-flopping extended ...
