“Our achievement may herald a new form of matter combining characteristics of solids and liquids in the same material,” ...

Researchers have discovered that not all atoms in a liquid are in motion and that some remain stationary regardless of the ...

When ice melts into water, it happens quickly, with the transition from solid to liquid being immediate. However, very thin ...

Physics is the search for and application of rules that can help us understand and predict the world around us. Central to physics are ideas such as energy, mass, particles and waves. Physics attempts ...

X-ray study of compressed water shows that superionic ice adopts mixed close-packed structures rather than a single phase - a far more complex behaviour than expected, mirroring solid ice’s rich ...
