Seemingly contradictory materials are trapped together in two glittering diamonds from South Africa, shedding light on how ...

Scientists have filmed nanoscale ice crystals adapting to trapped air bubbles without losing structural integrity.

Oxygen, the colorless and odorless gas that is essential to the survival of humans and other living organisms, is estimated ...

Researchers in Vienna have discovered something remarkable: crystals that don’t form in space, like diamonds or salt, but in ...

Despite being one of the most familiar substances on Earth, water holds many secrets that scientists are still working to understand. When confined to ...

Water, though familiar, still hides astonishing secrets. When squeezed into nanosized channels, it can enter a bizarre “premelting state” that is both solid and liquid at once. Using advanced NMR ...

Despite being one of the most familiar substances on Earth, water holds many secrets that scientists are still working to ...

Abstract: Terahertz metamaterial absorbers (TMAs) have exhibited significant potential in high-speed communication, sensing, and imaging, attributed to their thin thickness and excellent ...

In their study, Zhao and Smalyukh created a space–time crystal in the nematic phase of a liquid crystal. In this phase the crystal’s rod-like molecules align parallel to each other and also flow like ...

A time crystal is a form of matter that shows continuous, repeating patterns over time, much like how atoms in a normal ...

The approach combines carbon liquid cells and rapid data acquisition to study solvated molecules at room temperature ...
