Researchers report that the way a tissue's cells are arranged can serve as a fingerprint for the tissue's 'phase' -- whether it is more like a solid, liquid, or gas. For example, tumors that are more ...
Physicists are now watching matter behave in a way that defies everyday intuition, with atoms and even light itself arranging into structures that are rigid like a crystal yet able to flow like a ...
Scientists have discovered a new state of matter that isn't a solid, liquid, or gas. Researchers call this new type of material a 'corralled supercooled liquid'. Atoms in a liquid are normally like ...
Scientists studying molten metals have uncovered a surprising truth: even in a liquid state, some atoms do not move at all. Credit: SciTechDaily.com Motionless atoms can trap liquid metal in a strange ...
In school, students are taught that matter is either solid, liquid, or gas. Now, physicists discover that atoms can actually exist as solid and liquid simultaneously. It turns out, when certain ...
