Inside what looks like a simple block of frozen water, quantum mechanics is quietly rewriting the rules of chemistry. New ...

In January, a team led by Jim Schuck, professor of mechanical engineering at Columbia Engineering, developed a method for ...

Physicists have created a visible, self-sustaining “time crystal” using swirling liquid crystals that move in endlessly repeating patterns when illuminated. Imagine a clock that runs forever without ...

Ancient Mars boasted abundant water, but the cold and dry conditions of today make liquid water on the Red Planet seem far ...

Researchers have discovered that ferroelectric fluids can harness an overlooked transverse electrostatic force (TEF) to rise ...

Researchers have designed a novel liquid metal composite material that could revolutionize the way we recycle electronics.

A new study reveals a "pinball phase" in a Wigner crystal, where electrons act as both solid and liquid in a quantum ...

Electrons can freeze into strange geometric crystals and then melt back into liquid-like motion under the right quantum ...

Small concentrations of active molecules trigger a liquid transition in supercooled water even at low temperatures ...

As Mars's atmosphere changed, Jezero's water gradually became less acidic and more balanced, creating somewhat better conditions for life. Minerals like minnesotaite and clinoptilolite were found in ...

Physicists have discovered how to make electrons “freeze” and “melt” into bizarre quantum patterns, forming a new kind of matter where solid and liquid coexist. Electricity drives nearly every aspect ...
