This corralled supercooled liquid relies on the surprising property that some atoms in a liquid remain stationary regardless ...

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

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 ...

Scientists have found a way to see ultrafast molecular interactions inside liquids using an extreme laser technique once ...

The Saugus Public Library got quite a show Tuesday morning when “Atomic Allen” from Mad Science stopped by to teach everyone about fire and ice. “We’re going to have some fun with science, but I also ...

Step inside the strange world of a superfluid, a liquid that can flow endlessly without friction, defying the common-sense ...

Scientists have discovered that Earth’s inner core may not be fully solid. A rare “superionic” state of matter could explain ...

Liquids and solutions may seem simple, but at the molecular level they are constantly in motion. When sugar dissolves in water, for example, each ...

By firing tiny projectiles of iron-carbon alloy from a high-speed cannon, scientists have finally demonstrated that a weird ...

Try as they might, scientists can’t truly rid a space or an object of its energy. But what “zero-point energy” really means ...

From a distance, the International Space Station looks calm, almost poetic. It drifts quietly above Earth, a thin line of light crossing the night sky.
