Water, though familiar, still hides astonishing secrets. When squeezed into nanosized channels, it can enter a bizarre ...

Scientists have discovered a new state of physical matter in which atoms can exist as both solid and liquid simultaneously. Until now, the atoms in physical material were understood to exist typically ...

Researchers report that the way a tissue's cells are arranged can serve as a fingerprint for the tissue's 'phase' -- whether it is more like a solid, liquid, or gas. For example, tumors that are more ...

Although the three states of matter are solid, liquid, and gas, not all substances seem to fit perfectly into one of these groups. Take a look at the substance below and see if you can decide whether ...

Materials may exist in the Solid, Liquid, and Gas phase. The (p,v,T) conditions determine which phase or phases are in thermodynamic equilibrium. For certain ranges of (p.v,T) more than one phase can ...

THE tenets of physics can seem carved in stone. The speed of light is a constant. There are four fundamental forces. Theoretically, rules like these are open to revision. But new contenders had better ...
