Solids, liquids and gases. In a solid like this brick, the particles are regularly arranged touching their neighbours and move only by vibrating. This explains why solids have a fixed shape. In a ...

We all know from middle school science class that matter changes between a solid, a liquid, and a gas when you change the temperature or pressure acting on it. (Yes, some elements will change directly ...

CHICO — A live show on Solids, Liquids and Gases will be presented Jan. 22 by the Lawerence Hall of Science at Bell Memorial Union on the Chico State University campus. The program will start at 7 p.m ...

Nigel Pereira on two inventions that seem to be mind-boggling as they seem to change the natural state of the resource in question. With deforestation and the burning of fossil fuels now widely ...

The four fundamental states of matter are solid, liquid, gas and plasma, but there others, such as Bose-Einstein condensates and time crystals, that are man-made. When you purchase through links on ...

An illustration of the excitation of a spin liquid on a honeycomb lattice with neutrons. Genevieve Martin, Oak Ridge National Laboratory For years, students have learned that there are four observable ...

Before scientists discovered the new state of matter last week, we were basically all used to just three states of matter. After all, during our daily lives we encounter some variety of solids, ...

Scientists have developed 'porous liquids': Nanoparticles, that are able to separate gas molecules of different sizes from each other, float - finely distributed - in a solvent. The porous liquids may ...

Researchers report that the way a tissue's cells are arranged can serve as a fingerprint for the tissue's 'phase' -- whether it is more like a solid, liquid, or gas. For example, tumors that are more ...

Conduct investigations to identify characteristics of gases, and learn about the gases that make up our atmosphere. Explore features of solids, liquids, and gases while noticing that substances can ...
