Solid-state batteries are widely viewed as a key technology for the future of energy storage, particularly for electric ...

When materials become just one atom thick, melting no longer follows the familiar rules. Instead of jumping straight from solid to liquid, an unusual in-between state emerges, where atomic positions ...

The cycling of water within Earth's interior regulates plate tectonics, volcanism, ocean volume, and climate stability, ...

Scientists studying molten metals have uncovered a surprising truth: even in a liquid state, some atoms do not move at all. Credit: SciTechDaily.com Motionless atoms can trap liquid metal in a strange ...

Supersolids are the predicted quantum version of a classical solid, which is defined as a fixed arrangement of atoms in a repeating crystal lattice. Supersolids, counterintuitively, can be both liquid ...

Research on the microstructure of cow’s milk is revealing how its physical and chemical properties interact to support health, informing the design of functional dairy products. Milk isn’t simply a ...
