Breakthroughs, discoveries, and DIY tips sent six days a week. Terms of Service and Privacy Policy. It’s summer, it’s hot, and these atoms are going for a swim ...

Why can you stand on a glacier but not the ocean? The answer seems simple enough: Liquids flow. Solids don’t. The atoms in liquids can slosh around. In solids, they fall lockstep into a crystal ...

Scientists have discovered a new state of matter that isn't a solid, liquid, or gas. Researchers call this new type of material a 'corralled supercooled liquid'. Atoms in a liquid are normally like ...

Researchers have discovered that not all atoms in a liquid are in motion and that some remain stationary regardless of the temperature, significantly impacting the solidification process, including ...

Earth’s inner core may be made of fluid light elements swirling around amid a solid lattice of iron, according to a computer simulation study. A team of physicists recently modeled how alloys of iron ...

Scientists have found a new state of physical matter – which allows atoms to exist as both solid and liquid at the same time. Atoms in physical material have been typically thought to be in one of ...

Scientists examining potassium have discovered a new state of physical matter where atoms can exist as both solid and liquid at the same time. The research is said to clear up whether there was a ...
