A group of scientists led by Johannes Fink from the Institute of Science and Technology Austria (IST Austria) reported the...
Snow falls in winter and melts in spring, but what drives the phase change in between?
Although melting is a familiar phenomenon encountered in everyday life, playing a part in many industrial and commercial processes, much remains to be discovered...
Theoretical possibility of the coexistence of dual liquid states of matter in sub-zero water due to the origami-like stacking behaviour of microscale moleculesy
Did you know that water can still remain liquid below zero degrees Celsius? It is called supercooled...

Journeying to the center of the Earth, a la Jules Verne, won't be happening anytime soon. A new material made from a liquid metal and magnetic particles, however, could make it much easier for researchers to recreate...
Fig. 1: Yield of excited atoms as a function of the laser intensity. At a laser intensity of 200TW/cm², in the vicinity of a 6 photon channel closing, a strong resonant enhancement of a factor 100 is visible. For...
