Mercury is a metal, yet it has some weird physical properties, including being a liquid at room temperature.

Mercury freezes at roughly minus 38.8 degrees Celsius, a temperature so far below everyday conditions that the silvery ...

The first estimate of superheavy element flerovium’s melting point predicts that it is likely a liquid at room temperature. And although element 114 has a closed-shell configuration similar to a noble ...

The search for materials that can conduct electricity at room temperature without losing energy is one of the greatest and most consequential challenges of modern physics: loss-free power transmission ...

When cooled to low enough temperatures, certain materials will superconduct: the electrical resistance inside them will drop to zero. When exposed to a strong magnetic field, some superconductors will ...

For the first time, physicists have observed novel quantum effects in a topological insulator at room temperature. This finding opens up a new range of possibilities for the development of efficient ...
