This corralled supercooled liquid relies on the surprising property that some atoms in a liquid remain stationary regardless ...

Scientists have developed a tailored ionic liquid that stabilises perovskite solar cells, allowing them to retain about 90% ...

GEARS ABRADE, pistons crack, pumps clog. If engineers had their way, machines would have no moving parts at all. Alas, a sedentary lump of metal would be a paperweight, rather than a useful machine.

We are living in a world surrounded by liquid and flow, and understanding the principles that govern its movement is vital in our high-tech world. Through mathematical modeling and experimentation, ...

Although optical fibers are highly effective at data transmission, they're also relatively brittle. An experimental new type of optical fiber addresses that limitation, by incorporating a core made of ...

Going bottom-up is no problem for a boat on the underside of a levitated liquid. In a container, liquid can be levitated over a layer of gas by shaking the container up and down because the repeated, ...

Driving systems out of equilibrium with electric fields proves useful for creating liquid shapes that are nearly impossible to find in nature. When two substances are brought together, they will ...

A liquid nitrogen leak at a Gainesville, Georgia poultry plant killed six people and injured nearly a dozen others last Thursday, the Associated Press reports. If you're most familiar with liquid ...
