When it comes to telescope mirrors, larger is generally better. The larger your main mirror, the more light you can capture ...

High-pressure experiments generated the first direct observation of plastic ice, which has qualities of both crystalline ice and liquid water.

This important study characterizes the mechanics and stability of bolalipids from archaeal membranes using molecular dynamics simulations. A mesoscale model of bolalipids is presented and evaluated ...

Water isn't just liquid, ice, or vapor — under extreme conditions, it can transform into exotic phases, such as the newly observed plastic ice VII. This hybrid phase, predicted years ago but only ...

Researchers have discovered various topological structures in water waves (skyrmions, merons, Möbius and vortices with ...

In everyday life, we typically encounter water in one of three familiar states – solid, liquid or gas. But there are in fact many more phases, some of ...
