Motionless atoms can trap liquid metal in a strange new state that shouldn’t exist. Scientists have discovered that a liquid does not always behave the way it seems. Even when a material is fully ...

New research suggests that the Earth's solid inner core is softer and more dynamic than previously thought, changing ideas.

A bullet-speed experiment reveals that the Earth's inner core may be softer and more dynamic than previously thought.

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 ...

Deep beneath our feet, far below the crust and mantle, researchers now argue that matter behaves in a way that does not fit the familiar categories of solid or liquid. At the center of Earth, they say ...

Scientists discover a new solid-liquid hybrid state in nanoparticles, revealing unique properties crucial for improving ...

The manipulation of metals as they transform from a liquid to a solid can have immense benefits for technologies. A new study finds that the manipulation of stationary atoms in a liquid metal can ...

Crucially, the silver remained in its positively charged ionic form rather than becoming metallic again. The researchers ...

I• A protective coating technique using silver makes solid electrolytes five times more resistant to cracking and makes ...
