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

The more we discover about the natural world, the more we find that nature is the greatest engineer. Past research implied that liquids can only be transported in fixed direction on species with ...

Old Mystery About What’s Inside Uranus And Neptune In A Nutshell Scientists discovered a strange form of water that’s ...

A GIF showing ion movement in an organic electrolyte in both a disordered fluid state and a self-assembled crystalline state. Green dots representing negative ions move erratically between long, ...

A team at the University of Colorado Boulder has designed new kinds of liquid crystals that mirror the complex structures of some solid crystals—a major step forward in building flowing materials that ...

Blood may be thicker than water, but in a narrow enough tube, both liquids flow like treacle. This sluggish behaviour arises because, as you reduce the size of the channel, friction between the liquid ...

(Nanowerk Spotlight) The control of fluids at microscopic scales is fundamental to numerous technologies, from medical diagnostics to water purification. Traditionally, moving small volumes of liquid ...
