Liquid crystals are an integral part of modern technology, ranging from displays to advanced sensory systems. In a study ...

Researchers have recently found a new way to summon useful structures in magnetic materials using light, heat, and electric fields. This new method, described in a new study published in Physical ...

Liquid water exhibits a remarkable range of dynamic behaviours and phase transformations that remain at the forefront of scientific investigation. Its complex hydrogen‐bonding network gives rise to ...

The National Institute for Materials Science (NIMS) has succeeded in direct observation of reversible transition in a trehalose aqueous solution between two liquid states by measuring the volume ...

Scientists have uncovered a key finding to one of water's unique properties: at high pressure and low temperature, liquid water separates into two distinct liquid phases -- one high-density and one ...

(Nanowerk News) Glasses are peculiar materials exhibiting excellent and well-known properties, but also some phenomena that are still not fully understood, even though they have been studied for more ...

In 1934, physicist Eugene Wigner theorized that when electrons in metals are brought to ultracold temperatures, these electrons would be frozen in their tracks and form a rigid, non-electricity ...

Europe’s energy transition is not one-size-fits-all; alternatives are emerging in policy blind spots, and liquid gases are ...
