A container of oil and water separated by a thin skin of magnetized particles has intrigued a team of chemical engineers by ...

For centuries, humans have made use of glass in their art, tools, and technology. Despite the ubiquity of this material, ...

This research presents a comprehensive thermodynamic approach to glass, redefining equilibrium and enhancing the ...

Special biomedical materials that can be injected as a liquid and turn into a solid inside our bodies—called thermogels—could ...

A team of researchers led by a physics graduate student recently made the surprising discovery of what they call a 'shape-recovering liquid,' which defies some long-held expectations derived from the ...

A student playing around with fluids and magnetic materials in the lab may have accidentally found an "exception" to the laws of thermodynamics, according to the authors of a new paper based on his ...

"The three-dimensional world of ordinary experience—the universe filled with galaxies, stars, planets, houses, boulders, and people—is a hologram, an image of reality coded on a distant ...

"because you can engineer all sorts of interesting materials with useful properties when a fluid contains magnetic particles," says Raykh. He made his mixture, shook it up -- "and, in a complete ...

A UMass Amherst student accidentally discovered a liquid that defied laws and repeatedly formed the shape of ancient Greek ...
