This corralled supercooled liquid relies on the surprising property that some atoms in a liquid remain stationary regardless ...

THE tenets of physics can seem carved in stone. The speed of light is a constant. There are four fundamental forces. Theoretically, rules like these are open to revision. But new contenders had better ...

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, ...

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

Solid-fuel rockets are the dream weapons of military rocketeers. They have no pumps or valves to go wrong and are always ready to fire. Their big trouble is that they are harder to control than liquid ...

THE low temperature exhibition, which is being arranged by the Science Museum, has already been mentioned in these columns; we now learn from the director of the Museum, Col. E. E. B. Mackintosh, that ...

Jointly with cooperation partners, a researcher of Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) has developed "porous liquids": Nanoparticles, that are able to separate gas molecules of different sizes ...

The separation process can be conducted using various instruments, but the most fitting method depends on the mixture’s properties. This article covers the importance of solid-liquid separation in the ...
