Explore the new material that transforms from solid to liquid on demand, revolutionizing technology in various fields.

Using a novel surface-sensitive spectroscopy method, scientists explored atomic vibrations in crystalline material surfaces near interfaces. The findings illuminate quantum behaviors that play ...

The Harvey W. Wiley Award is presented every year to a scientist, or group of scientists, who have made outstanding contributions to analytical method development in areas of interest to AOAC ...

High-pressure experiments generated the first direct observation of plastic ice, which has qualities of both crystalline ice and liquid water.

Where would carbon-based life be without carbon? There are 118 known chemical elements, but carbon is the fourth most ...

But now, a team led by Rodney Ruoff at the Institute for Basic Science in Ulsan, South Korea, has shattered this paradigm, ...

A frenzied mix of silliness and celebrities is hitting the airwaves and the internet, and that means one thing: it is Super Bowl ad time again.Veteran advertisers are using tried-and-true tactics like ...

One such effect is a 'freezing' of electrons into restricted positions, effectively turning them from a flowing liquid-like mass into something with structure. Known as a Wigner crystal, this phase of ...

Water is ubiquitous and seemingly ordinary, possessing no distinct color or odor. Though we often take water for granted, it is by no means a simple substance. As a consequence of its chemical ...

However, not all experts accept the validity of her results. The possibility of a brain microbiome keeps scientists engaged in a lively discussion with crucial ramifications toward a possible role for ...

Quantum spin liquids (QSLs) are fascinating and mysterious states of matter that have intrigued scientists for decades. First proposed by Nobel laureate Philip Anderson in the 1970s, these materials ...

Quantum spin liquids are fascinating states of matter where magnetic spins stay disordered, defying the usual rules of magnetism. Professor Yasuyuki Ishii and his team have made an exciting discovery ...
