Liquids and solutions may look simple, but on the molecular scale they are constantly shifting and reorganizing. When sugar dissolves in water, each sugar molecule quickly becomes surrounded by fast ...

Scientists report the first look at electrons moving in real-time in liquid water; the findings open up a whole new field of experimental physics. In an experiment akin to stop-motion photography, ...

Scientists stop the motion of atoms to watch electrons move in liquid water. In an experiment akin to stop-motion photography, scientists have isolated the energetic movement of an electron while ...

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

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 ...

A liquid marble is an otherworldly combination of liquid and solid. Shaped like a solid marble but with many properties of a liquid, these strange objects were introduced in a 2001 Nature article and ...
