Researchers at Michigan State University have refined an innovation that has the potential to improve safety, reduce severe ...

Scientists have transformed light into a supersolid, a breakthrough merging solid and liquid properties in quantum physics.

Scientists have found that water, under extreme pressure and cold temperatures, can split into two different liquid phases.

Here is a new material capable of behaving like a liquid under low pressure, then solidifying instantly upon impact. Researchers at Caltech have designed a new category of materials, called ...

As a collective, the robots behaved like a material that could change shape and switch between solid and liquid states, just ...

Ranch dressing is actually a fifth state of matter known as soft matter. Soft matter can have properties of both liquids and solids, so materials scientists say it is viscoelastic – a combination of ...

Scientists have discovered that water moving over surfaces generates significantly more electrical charge than previously believed, particularly when it sticks and then slips past tiny obstacles. This ...

where "materials" are identified as substances in the condensed states (liquid, solid, colloidal) designed or manipulated for technological ends. Nature Materials provides a forum for the ...

Scientists Ikuo Katayama from Hiroshima University and Yuya Akamatsu from the Research Institute for Marine Geodynamics ...

Basalt bulk material for flow-through with liquid salt for single-tank storage (TESIS:store) ...

Soft matter can have properties of both liquids and solids, so materials scientists say it is viscoelastic – a combination of viscous and elastic. Other common examples of soft matter include ...
