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 ...

The table below shows a comparison of the same substance in three different states. A single particle does not have the properties of the material it is part of. The properties of a substance are the ...

From the crest of a wave in the sea to the surface of a glass of water, there are always small fluctuations in density at the point where the air comes in contact with a liquid. Until now, it was ...

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 ...

Atoms, those tiny constituents of matter, are invisible to the naked eye, but their interactions shape our reality. However, the notion of "contact" between them is much more complex than it seems.

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 ...

TEHRAN (Tasnim) – A new state of matter was discovered that allows atoms to exist as both solid and liquid at the same time. It was previously thought there were three states of matter: liquid, solid ...

Glass and other strange materials have long confounded textbook definitions of what it means to be solid. Now, two groups of physicists propose a new solution to the riddle. The answer seems simple ...
