New phase: a new form of supercooled water has been characterized More evidence that supercooled water exists in two distinct liquid phases has surfaced in experiments done by Austen Angell and ...

Tokyo, Japan - A team at The University of Tokyo described in unprecedented detail the rare phenomenon called "liquid-to-liquid phase transitions" in a pure substance. By showing how a liquid made of ...

New research published in Nature documents evidence for a liquid-to-liquid transition in sulfur, a first-order phase transition that has been enigmatic to chemists. The original first-order transition ...

Researchers demonstrated that liquid-liquid transitions of a molecular liquid were coupled to crystallization behavior. The team was able to enhance the crystallization of triphenyl phosphite by ...

“I’m afraid we have focused too much on protein secondary structures that appear to be important in biology, but have ignored low-complexity domains,” Van Den Bosch told Alzforum. Those low-complexity ...

The National Institute for Materials Science (NIMS) has succeeded in direct observation of reversible transition in a trehalose aqueous solution between two liquid states by measuring the volume ...

In 1934, physicist Eugene Wigner theorized that when electrons in metals are brought to ultracold temperatures, these electrons would be frozen in their tracks and form a rigid, non-electricity ...

(Nanowerk Spotlight) Many of the electronic devices we use in our everyday life employ liquid crystals in their optical displays – laptops, cell phones, flat screen TVs, digital watches, and ...
