After more than a decade of work, researchers now say they have uncovered the root cause of water’s unusual behavior. Their ...

Liquid water exhibits a remarkable range of dynamic behaviours and phase transformations that remain at the forefront of scientific investigation. Its complex hydrogen‐bonding network gives rise to ...

Using X-ray lasers, researchers at Stockholm University have been able to determine the existence of a critical point in supercooled water at around -63 °C and 1,000 atmospheres. Ordinary water at ...

The researchers used lasers to manipulate and measure water states. (POSTECH University, South Korea) As water gets colder, ...

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 ...

A new critical point in water has been discovered by Stockholm University physicists, explaining some of water’s strangest ...

Researchers discovered that liquids can suddenly snap like solids when stretched hard enough. This unexpected behavior ...

The process of liquid-to-glass transition is a complex procedure in science, as is the glass-to-liquid transition known as glass melting. In a new report published in Science Advances, Qi Zhang and a ...

Scientists have discovered something that seems almost impossible: under the right conditions, ordinary liquids can snap apart like solid objects. In experiments, researchers found that when certain ...

(Nanowerk News) Researchers from the Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona and the ICN2 have developed a methodology that makes it possible for the first time to observe under the microscope, in real time ...
