Water, this seemingly ordinary molecule, continues to reveal unexpected properties. Scientists have simulated never-before-observed behavior, opening up new perspectives. The team from ...

When a substance is heated, its atoms or molecules move faster and faster. This movement creates disorder, also known as ...

Water molecules freeze in a hexagonal pattern and the molecules are further apart than they were as liquid water. Water is unusual because its molecules move further apart when it freezes. The ...

The molecules in liquid water are attracted to one another but are able to slide past each other. If you look closely, you can see some molecules where the hydrogen atoms of one molecule are “bonded” ...

Spin liquids are a fascinating and elusive state of matter that has captivated the attention of physicists and material scientists. The term "liquid" in spin liquids draws an analogy to the fluid ...

Compton corresponds to the normal or average state of the atoms and molecules ... case in which light is scattered by the molecules in dust-free liquids or gases, the diffuse radiation of the ...

An iceberg is in the solid state. It has a fixed shape because the particles (water molecules) are arranged in fixed positions. Water is in the liquid state. It can flow because its particles can ...

A new geometrical analysis shows that there is some order in the disorderly arrangements of the molecules of a liquid. The method may lead to a general theory of the liquid state By J. D. Bernal ...
