Solids, liquids and gases. In a solid like this brick, the particles are regularly arranged touching their neighbours and move only by vibrating. This explains why solids have a fixed shape.

While the vapour–liquid–solid process has been widely used for growing one-dimensional nanostructures, quantitative understanding of the process is still far from adequate. For example, the ...

For the first time, Yale physicists have directly observed quantum behavior in the vibrations of a liquid body. A great deal of ongoing research is currently devoted to discovering and exploiting ...

University students' experiment shows substance in liquid, gas, and solid form A mass spectrometer is an instrument that measures the masses and relative concentrations of atoms and molecules.

Non-Newtonian fluids consist of tiny grains suspended in liquid, with the appearance of a solid or gel. Stand on quicksand and you will sink (though not as rapidly as movies and cartoons suggest).

Scientists have developed a new machine learning approach that accurately predicted critical and difficult-to-compute properties of molten salts, materials with diverse nuclear energy applications.

This prompted Judge MacElree to undertake a high-stakes experiment, with the starting question: Is pizza a solid object? According to MacElree's tongue-in-cheek write-up , having researched the ...
