For more than a century, schoolbook physics has divided matter into neat categories like solid, liquid, gas, and plasma. A ...

Solid-state electrolytes have been explored for decades for use in energy storage systems and in the pursuit of solid-state batteries. These materials are safer alternatives to the traditional liquid ...

Researchers have unveiled a startling discovery: not all atoms in a liquid are jostling around. Some, it turns out, stay put, capable of corralling entire liquids into a bizarre, supercooled state.

A recent NSR paper measures mechanical properties of solids as a function of both crystalline grain size and grain-boundary thickness The world of solid materials is not composed solely of perfectly ...

This review paper published in AI & Materials explores the implementation of first-principles calculation method within high-entropy carbides ceramics (HECCs) research, specifically examining its role ...

Download the experiment instructions HERE! Let’s learn about the properties of liquids and solids: Solids are not compressible, they’re rigid, they don’t flow, and their particles are packed close ...

(Nanowerk News) Metal nanoclusters are tiny, crystalline structures up to two nanometers (2 x 10-9 meters) in diameter that contain a few to hundreds of metal atoms. Understanding the precise assembly ...

The new materials conduct ions equally well as liquids, liquid crystals, and solids, with no steep decrease in ion movement when the salt solidifies.

Scientists from the University of Oxford and partner institutions have created a new class of organic materials called ...

Solid lubrication has become essential in materials science. The first United States patent for these materials was issued in the mid-1940s. 2 Since then, significant progress has been made in the ...
