Download the experiment instructions HERE! Let’s learn about the properties of liquids and solids: Solids are not compressible, they’re rigid, they don’t flow, and their particles are packed close ...

Water, though familiar, still hides astonishing secrets. When squeezed into nanosized channels, it can enter a bizarre “premelting state” that is both solid and liquid at once. Using advanced NMR ...

Breakthroughs, discoveries, and DIY tips sent six days a week. Terms of Service and Privacy Policy. It’s summer, it’s hot, and these atoms are going for a swim ...

Conduct investigations to identify characteristics of gases, and learn about the gases that make up our atmosphere. Explore features of solids, liquids, and gases while noticing that substances can ...

Engineers have developed a new way to 3D-print liquid and solid materials together, potentially leading to more dynamic and useful products -- from robots to wearable electronic devices. Imagine a ...

Researchers have discovered that not all atoms in a liquid are in motion and that some remain stationary regardless of the temperature, significantly impacting the solidification process, including ...

High school science misses a lot of the science researchers actually work with. For example, you learn that there are three states of matter—solid, liquid, and gas—but in advanced physics, things get ...

A new state of matter appears to be a solid-liquid hybrid, scientists from Ulm University in Germany and the University of Nottingham in the UK have reported in the journal ACS Nano. The newfound ...

Imagine a future in which you could 3D-print an entire robot or stretchy, electronic medical device with the press of a button—no tedious hours spent assembling parts by hand. That possibility may be ...
