Several years ago, scientists discovered that a single microscopic particle could rock back and forth on its own under a ...

Leading a double life as both solids and liquids, liquid crystals occupy center stage for creating smaller, faster and more efficient technologies. Even at the level of single particles, liquid ...

Engineers at Northwestern University have unveiled the behavior of single microscopic particles when they unite.

Researchers used computer simulations to determine the mechanisms that control the temperature dependence of molecular dynamics in a glassy supercooled liquid. This work may lead to higher-quality ...

The Outside Story shows how needle-thin columns of ice protruding from the ground are formed from the liquid between soil particles.

(Nanowerk News) Glass might seem to be an ordinary material we encounter every day, but the physics at play inside are actually quite complex and still not completely understood by scientists. Some ...
