Researchers have found that certain particles remain stationary in liquid even in extreme temperatures, calling it a 'new ...

A normal crystal forms only when the number of stationary atoms remains small. But when the number is high, especially if ...

“Our achievement may herald a new form of matter combining characteristics of solids and liquids in the same material,” ...

Before scientists discovered the new state of matter last week, we were basically all used to just three states of matter. After all, during our daily lives we encounter some variety of solids, ...

The state of matter is a deceptively simple concept. It turns out that any material, no matter what it is made of, can exist in one of three forms: solid, liquid or gas. These are categories of stuff ...

Students are introduced to the idea that matter is composed of atoms and molecules that are attracted to each other and in constant motion. Students explore the attractions and motion of atoms and ...

Water is a unique compound that is essential to life on Earth. In the pedosphere, the physical and chemical properties of water regulate the flow of energy and solutes, making soil water a crucial ...

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 ...
