Trapped The study of nanoconfined water has important real-world applications in biology, engineering and geology. (Courtesy: Christoph Schran, Cambridge University) When water is trapped in narrow, ...

Water, though familiar, still hides astonishing secrets. When squeezed into nanosized channels, it can enter a bizarre ...

Scientists have observed transitions into and out of an exotic state of matter found between liquid and solid in 2-D materials (Sci. Rep. 2021, DOI: 10.1038/s41598-020-80082-x). The hexatic phase ...

The four fundamental states of matter are solid, liquid, gas and plasma, but there others, such as Bose-Einstein condensates and time crystals, that are man-made. When you purchase through links on ...
