Scientists have observed transitions into and out of an exotic state of matter found between liquid and solid in 2-D materials (Sci. Rep. 2021, DOI: 10.1038/s41598-020-80082-x). The hexatic phase ...

For more than a century, schoolbook physics has divided matter into neat categories like solid, liquid, gas, and plasma. A wave of recent experiments is now tearing at those boundaries, revealing ...

Scientists have discovered a new state of matter that isn't a solid, liquid, or gas. Researchers call this new type of material a 'corralled supercooled liquid'. Atoms in a liquid are normally like ...

We explore Supercritical Fluids and how being "in the between" is their superpower. Supercritical Fluids are one the strangest states of matter and yet they are found everywhere from Decaf Coffee, to ...

Researchers report that the way a tissue's cells are arranged can serve as a fingerprint for the tissue's 'phase' -- whether it is more like a solid, liquid, or gas. For example, tumors that are more ...

We all know from middle school science class that matter changes between a solid, a liquid, and a gas when you change the temperature or pressure acting on it. (Yes, some elements will change directly ...

However, due to its fragility, aerogel has played a vital role in space exploration. Aerogels are 99.8 per cent air. They are ...
