Suspensions are widespread in industry and everyday life. By a suspension, materials scientists mean a liquid in which tiny, ...

A study led by researchers from the University of Turku in Finland has discovered phosphorus and fluorine in solid dust particles that were collected from a comet. Scientists on the project say ...

Find out what particle arrangements and movements are in solids, liquids, and gases in this BBC Bitesize KS3 physics guide.

Molecular motion for the particles in a solid is confined to very small vibrations of the atoms around their fixed positions; therefore, solids have a fixed shape that is difficult to change.

The momentum is building to protect people — not just the planet — from plastic pollution. Researchers uncover alarming particles have been hiding in our bodies for decades: 'This project is a ...

"Most people have thought you can't move metal particles in a solid material," said Wei Lu, associate professor of electrical and computer engineering at the University of Michigan.

Particles' shapes and sizes affect how they aggregate, including how tightly they can pack together, which affects a rock's porosity—a property that is the ratio of the volume of a rock's empty ...

The research activities focus on producing and evaluating silicon nitride-based particles as anode material in sulfide solid-state batteries.

For the first time, physicists have convincingly demonstrated that physically separated particles in solid-state devices can be quantum-mechanically entangled. The achievement is analogous to the ...

IN this paper are given the results of some observations made while on the Rigi in May last, on the solid and liquid particles in clouds. It was noticed, when making observations on the number of ...

Inside most materials, little is moving. But a new "active nanocomposite" is teeming with motion: small particles connect or separate, thus changing the color of the entire material. It was made ...
