We all know from middle school science class that matter changes between a solid, a liquid, and a gas when you change the temperature or pressure acting on it. (Yes, some elements will change directly ...

Solid, liquid, gas … and something else? While most of us learn about just three states of matter in elementary school, physicists have discovered several exotic varieties that can exist under extreme ...

THE low temperature exhibition, which is being arranged by the Science Museum, has already been mentioned in these columns; we now learn from the director of the Museum, Col. E. E. B. Mackintosh, that ...

The four fundamental states of matter are solid, liquid, gas and plasma, but there others, such as Bose-Einstein condensates and time crystals, that are man-made. When you purchase through links on ...

When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an affiliate commission. Here’s how it works. A new kind of matter can be both solid and liquid at once. In this chain-melted state, molten and ...

This is a preview. Log in through your library . Abstract We have developed an efficient system for triphase reactions using a microchannel reactor. Using this system, we conducted hydrogenation ...

THE tenets of physics can seem carved in stone. The speed of light is a constant. There are four fundamental forces. Theoretically, rules like these are open to revision. But new contenders had better ...

Researchers report that the way a tissue's cells are arranged can serve as a fingerprint for the tissue's 'phase' -- whether it is more like a solid, liquid, or gas. For example, tumors that are more ...

One of the most basic things we are taught in school science classes is that water can exist in three different states, either as solid ice, liquid water, or vapour gas. But an international team of ...

Two years ago, Ars was invited to Huntsville’s Marshall Space Flight Center to watch a team of engineers from NASA and Aerojet Rocketdyne fire up some 50-year old rocket components—specifically, the ...
