One particularly intriguing phase of confined water is called the “premelting state.” In this unusual condition, water appears to hover between freezing and melting simultaneously, resisting ...

Water, though familiar, still hides astonishing secrets. When squeezed into nanosized channels, it can enter a bizarre ...

A time crystal is a form of matter that shows continuous, repeating patterns over time, much like how atoms in a normal ...

Heating the water on the paper towel increases the motion of the water molecules. When the molecules have enough energy, they can move fast enough to break away from the attractions holding them to ...

The ultrafast placement of an electron in a polar liquid generates collective molecular vibrations in a spherical nano-volume. The vibrations change the diameter of this sphere periodically for more ...

Electrons are able to move within molecules, for example when they are excited from outside or in the course of a chemical reaction. For the first time, scientists have now succeeded in studying the ...

Oxygen, the colorless and odorless gas that is essential to the survival of humans and other living organisms, is estimated ...

In their study, Zhao and Smalyukh created a space–time crystal in the nematic phase of a liquid crystal. In this phase the crystal’s rod-like molecules align parallel to each other and also flow like ...

The era of moving molecules for energy is coming to an end as we electrify everything everywhere all at once. Moving electrons is more efficient and lower impact. Pipelines are steel tubes that mostly ...
