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 ...

For more than a century, schoolbook physics has divided matter into neat categories like solid, liquid, gas, and plasma. A ...

Researchers have discovered that not all atoms in a liquid are in motion and that some remain stationary regardless of the temperature, significantly impacting the solidification process, including ...

In middle and high school, most people learn about the three states of matter we interact with in our everyday lives: solid, liquid and gas. Some students may have even been introduced to the idea of ...

Some atoms in a liquid stay fixed even at high temperatures, reshaping how solidification starts and enabling an unusual corralled supercooled liquid state. (Nanowerk News) Researchers have discovered ...

THE tenets of physics can seem carved in stone. The speed of light is a constant. There are four fundamental forces. Theoretically, rules like these are open to revision. But new contenders had better ...

Plasma happens when gas gets heated to a very high temperature and the atoms lose their electrons. Find out more about this state of matter. Science Trek is available to stream on pbs.org and the free ...

Theoretical modelling explores the movement of atoms within a liquid nanodroplet of platinum that is confined inside a defect in a carbon support. The colours represent the mobility of the atoms: ...
