Scientists observe matter behaving between liquid and solid in a new phase
For more than a century, schoolbook physics has divided matter into neat categories like solid, liquid, gas, and plasma. A ...
New research offers clearer insight into how phase transitions unfold at the atomic scale in real materials. When ice turns into water, the change happens almost instantly. Once the melting ...

New state of matter acts like a solid and a liquid at once
Physicists are now watching matter behave in a way that defies everyday intuition, with atoms and even light itself arranging ...
While universal formulas exist for every other phase transition (liquid-to-gas, gas-to-liquid, even solid-to-gas), no such formula exists for predicting when a solid melts into a liquid. A new study ...
Liquid crystals form a unique state of matter that blends the molecular mobility of liquids with the organised structure of crystalline solids. Their phase transitions, ranging from nematic to smectic ...
