This corralled supercooled liquid relies on the surprising property that some atoms in a liquid remain stationary regardless ...

Physicists are now watching matter behave in a way that defies everyday intuition, with atoms and even light itself arranging ...

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 ...

Theoretical modelling explores the movement of atoms within a liquid nanodroplet of platinum that is confined inside a defect in a carbon support. The colours represent the mobility of the atoms: ...

Although the three states of matter are solid, liquid, and gas, not all substances seem to fit perfectly into one of these groups. Take a look at the substance below and see if you can decide whether ...
