For years, biomolecular condensates were thought to be simple, liquid-like droplets with little internal organization. New ...
Despite its stability and abundance on Earth and in the wider Universe, carbon is an element for which little is known about the liquid state 1. This is mainly because carbon evaporates directly at ...
Scientists have cracked open a mysterious layer inside batteries, using cutting-edge 3D atomic force microscopy to capture the dynamic molecular structures at their solid-liquid interfaces. These once ...
Researchers used laser compression to study liquid carbon for the first time, enabling insights into extreme states relevant to planetary interiors and nuclear fusion. Liquid carbon can be found, for ...
A team of physicists has computationally constructed a two-dimensional material that behaves like a paradox: it is disordered like a liquid at the atomic level yet mechanically rigid like a crystal.
Take a moment to look at the screen you are reading this on. Whether it is a phone or a monitor, you are staring through a material that has baffled scientists for centuries. Glass is everywhere, but ...
Researchers have been able to measure liquid carbon experimentally for the first time. They combined a high-power laser with the ultrashort X-ray laser flash of the European XFEL. With the declared ...
