Physicists are now watching matter behave in a way that defies everyday intuition, with atoms and even light itself arranging ...
“Our achievement may herald a new form of matter combining characteristics of solids and liquids in the same material,” ...
A normal crystal forms only when the number of stationary atoms remains small. But when the number is high, especially if ...
Scientists have uncovered that some atoms in liquids don't move at all—even at extreme temperatures—and these anchored atoms dramatically alter the way materials freeze. Using advanced electron ...
Some atoms in a liquid stay fixed even at high temperatures, reshaping how solidification starts and enabling an unusual ...
