When materials become just one atom thick, melting no longer follows the familiar rules. Instead of jumping straight from solid to liquid, an unusual in-between state emerges, where atomic positions ...
New research suggests that Earth’s solid inner core might not be as rigid as once believed. Instead, it could exist in an ...
Scientists discover a new solid-liquid hybrid state in nanoparticles, revealing unique properties crucial for improving ...
Physicists have observed a strange new quantum phase in a graphene-based system, where a superfluid appears to freeze into a solid-like state. Cooling usually pushes matter through a simple sequence.
