A GIF showing ion movement in an organic electrolyte in both a disordered fluid state and a self-assembled crystalline state. Green dots representing negative ions move erratically between long, ...

Scientists studying molten metals have uncovered a surprising truth: even in a liquid state, some atoms do not move at all. Credit: SciTechDaily.com Motionless atoms can trap liquid metal in a strange ...

The manipulation of metals as they transform from a liquid to a solid can have immense benefits for technologies. A new study finds that the manipulation of stationary atoms in a liquid metal can ...

The discovery of superconductivity more than a century ago has significantly changed our world. The story began in 1911 when the Dutch physicist Heike Kamerlingh Onnes observed that the electrical ...

In a breakthrough that reshapes our understanding of materials, researchers have identified a new state of matter known as a corralled supercooled liquid. In this unusual form, atoms behave partly ...
