The melting of materials seems like a simple phenomenon. However, when their thickness is reduced to just a few atoms, ...

When ice melts into water, it happens quickly, with the transition from solid to liquid being immediate. However, very thin materials do not adhere to these rules. Instead, an unusual state between ...

High school science misses a lot of the science researchers actually work with. For example, you learn that there are three states of matter—solid, liquid, and gas—but in advanced physics, things get ...

The Japanese collaborative team of Tokyo University of Agriculture and Technology (TUAT) and Osaka University presents a novel method for tuning hydrodynamic interfacial instability through a ...
