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

Liquid crystals exhibit a state of matter that merges fluidity with a degree of molecular ordering. This mesomorphic property allows them to flow like liquids while retaining anisotropic optical ...

Ionic liquids are a versatile class of organic salts that typically remain liquid at or near room temperature. Their unique physicochemical attributes—such as high thermal stability, negligible ...

We're surrounded by ingenious substances: a menu of metal alloys that can wrap up leftovers or skin rockets, paints in any color imaginable, and ever-morphing digital displays. Virtually all of these ...

Researchers have successfully grown platinum crystals in liquid metal, using a powerful X-ray technique giving rare insight into how these delicate crystals form and grow. Humans have been making ...

The collaborators are Kazan Federal University, Vereschagin Institute of High Pressure Physics (Russian Academy of Sciences), Queen Mary University of London, Imperial College London, Rutherford ...

If ever there was a case of a reporter becoming part of the story, it would have to be Michael Freemantle’s pivotal role in the growth of the field now known as ionic liquids. Ionic liquids are quite ...

Researchers from Paul Scherrer Institute PSI and ETH Zurich have discovered how proteins in the cell can form tiny liquid droplets that act as a smart molecular glue. Clinging to the ends of filaments ...

On Finnish Independence Day in December 2018, Finland’s first lady, Jenni Haukio, wore a dress made from birch trees. No, she wasn’t covered in bark and leaves. The garment was woven from fibers made ...
