The melting of materials seems like a simple phenomenon. However, when their thickness is reduced to just a few atoms, established rules waver. In this two-dimensional mode, new states emerge ...

Liquid-liquid phase separation (LLPS) and crystallization are intertwined phenomena of considerable importance in both fundamental research and industrial applications, particularly in the ...

A research team affiliated with UNIST has reported a new simulation tool to better understand how liquid-phase chemical warfare agents (CWAs) disperse and persist in urban environments. Their findings ...

When ice melts into water, it happens quickly, with the transition from solid to liquid being immediate. However, very thin materials do not adhere to these rules. Instead, an unusual state between ...

The laboratory of Ege Kavalali, professor and chair of the Department of Pharmacology, published a paper in Nature ...

Liquid-liquid phase separation is not a precursor to formation of amyloid fibrils, a pathological hallmark of Parkinson's disease, shows study. Rather, the formation of protein into liquid droplets ...

Scientists discover a new solid-liquid hybrid state in nanoparticles, revealing unique properties crucial for improving ...

Scientists have uncovered a key finding to one of water's unique properties: at high pressure and low temperature, liquid water separates into two distinct liquid phases -- one high-density and one ...

How it works Schematic showing how a five-electron droplet (shown in blue) is transported inside the selected potential minimum of a SAW. Electrostatic gates (yellow) are used to guide the electron ...

Water is unique. It is one of the only substances that can exist in nature as a solid, liquid and gas at the same time under ambient conditions (think of solid ice over a pond, which is liquid ...
