Researchers taking the first-ever direct measurement of atom temperature in extremely hot materials inadvertently disproved a ...

Understanding the adsorption dynamics of nanoparticles at solid–liquid interfaces is of paramount importance to engineer nanoparticles for a variety of applications. The nanoparticle surface chemistry ...

Good morning. It's hot in the city. The high today will be around 97 and the heat index could take us all the way to 107. The ...

From the solid rocks we walk on to the gas in the air we breathe, we'll give you concrete examples that help illustrate the different states and properties of matter.

Compared to solid-to-solid inertial switches, the devices based on liquid-to-solid contact can avoid the signal bouncing and contact wear caused by the rigid contact between the proof mass and the ...

A surface forces apparatus and various optical visualization techniques were used to study the transition mechanisms between liquid-like snapping and solid-like failure at nano- and microscales.

Clouds play an important role in regulating the climate. Bright ones at low altitudes generally reflect solar energy away, ...
