Scientists report the first look at electrons moving in real-time in liquid water; the findings open up a whole new field of experimental physics. In an experiment akin to stop-motion photography, ...

Scientists stop the motion of atoms to watch electrons move in liquid water. In an experiment akin to stop-motion photography, scientists have isolated the energetic movement of an electron while ...

Liquids and solutions may look simple, but on the molecular scale they are constantly shifting and reorganizing. When sugar dissolves in water, each sugar molecule quickly becomes surrounded by fast ...

Scientists have discovered a way to write directly into liquid water, creating clear and long-lasting patterns which float below the surface of the fluid. In the new study, published Aug. 21 in the ...

(Nanowerk Spotlight) Liquid metals have long fascinated materials scientists due to their unique properties that bridge the gap between solid and liquid states of matter. These materials, which remain ...

This compilation features five liquid nitrogen experiments that show what extreme cold really does to everyday materials. Watch objects freeze almost instantly, turn brittle, and break in ways that ...

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

A liquid marble is an otherworldly combination of liquid and solid. Shaped like a solid marble but with many properties of a liquid, these strange objects were introduced in a 2001 Nature article and ...
