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

Download the experiment instructions HERE! Let’s learn about the properties of liquids and solids: Solids are not compressible, they’re rigid, they don’t flow, and their particles are packed close ...

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

Scientists unveil a solid electrolyte that moves lithium as fast as liquids, promising safer, fast-charging batteries.

Discovering a new class of matter in the lab of Chiara Daraio at Caltech, researchers have identified a type of material that ...

Though Earth's innermost core is solid, new research suggests that it hosts a lot of variation. When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an affiliate commission. Here’s how it works.

Normally, when liquids solidify, their molecules become locked in place, making it much harder for ions to move and leading to a steep decrease in ionic conductivity. Now, scientists have synthesized ...

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 ...
