In normal everyday life we come across matter in three states, solid, liquid and gas. They have a fixed shape and cannot flow The particles cannot move from place to place They cannot be ...

Although the three states of matter are solid, liquid, and gas, not all substances seem to fit perfectly into one of these groups. Take a look at the substance below and see if you can decide whether ...

Is Ranch Dressing a Liquid or a Solid? Imagine you’re sitting down for dinner. You pick up a bottle of ranch dressing, flip it upside down, and expect it to pour onto your plate. But nothing happens.

It turns out that any material, no matter what it is made of, can exist in one of three forms: solid, liquid or gas. These are categories of stuff that have certain observable properties.

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 ...

After viewing a model of salt, students help develop models for the processes of salt dissolving, water evaporating to form a gas, and salt re-forming as a crystal. The focus is that matter, whether ...

At first, the photons settle into a state with zero momentum, but as this state 'fills up', pairs of photons begin to spill ...

REDMOND, Wash. – Anyone who has sat through a third-grade science class knows there are three primary states of matter: solid, liquid and gas. Microsoft now says it has created a new state of ...

The matter making up the world around us has long-since been organized into three neat categories: solids, liquids and gases.

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

Rather than holding matter as a solid, a liquid or a gas, Microsoft says the chip enables what's known as a "topological superconductivity." The semiconductors of a traditional computer chip ...
