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

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

Physicists call this strange state a quantum spin liquid, and for decades it has been one of the most elusive phases of ...

Much like its central character, the Friday the 13 th franchise just can’t seem to die. Since the original installment blazed onto movie screens in 1980, we’ve been treated to twelve feature films, a ...

Scientists continue to make intriguing breakthroughs that could help reshape our lives. This time, a group of scientists managed to create a shape-shifting liquid metal that can transition between the ...

An elusive form of matter called a quantum spin liquid isn’t a liquid, and it doesn’t spin — but it sure is quantum. Predicted nearly 50 years ago, quantum spin liquids have long evaded definitive ...

We are living in a world surrounded by liquid and flow, and understanding the principles that govern its movement is vital in our high-tech world. Through mathematical modeling and experimentation, ...

James is a published author with multiple pop-history and science books to his name. He specializes in history, space, strange science, and anything out of the ordinary.View full profile James is a ...

Going bottom-up is no problem for a boat on the underside of a levitated liquid. In a container, liquid can be levitated over a layer of gas by shaking the container up and down because the repeated, ...

Although optical fibers are highly effective at data transmission, they're also relatively brittle. An experimental new type of optical fiber addresses that limitation, by incorporating a core made of ...

People who investigate scientific topics either love or hate glass, which is a confusing none-of-the-above unicorn: neither fully liquid nor fully solid, exhibiting some properties of each, but ...

The existence of liquid water on Mars — one of the more hotly debated matters about our cold, red neighbor — is looking increasingly likely. New research published Monday in the journal Nature ...
