Researchers have detailed the physics behind a phenomenon that allows them to create spin in liquid droplets using ultrasound waves, which concentrates solid particles suspended in the liquid. The ...

Captured within the cavities of a porous glass disk, frozen helium has coalesced into a long-awaited, but never-before-observed, quantum phase of matter, a team of physicists claims. In that ...

Water, though familiar, still hides astonishing secrets. When squeezed into nanosized channels, it can enter a bizarre “premelting state” that is both solid and liquid at once. Using advanced NMR ...

Almost everything is made of particles. Particles can be atoms, molecules or ions. Particles behave differently in solids, liquids and gases. The particle model explains the differences between solids ...

Dash a few drops of water onto a very hot, sizzling skillet and they'll levitate, sliding around the pan with wild abandon. Physicists at Virginia Tech have discovered that this can also be achieved ...
