Explore the fundamental concept of matter in physics, everything that makes up the physical world around us. Matter is not ...

Understanding how molecular arrangements within crystals influence their thermal behavior is a fundamental question in ...

An international group of scientists have used laser light shone onto gallium arsenide to make a super-solid – matter which behaves like both a liquid and a solid. “This is the first time a ...

Nucleation studies have been conducted on salicylic acid in the presence of solid-state miscible impurities. Crystallizations were carried out at different seed loads and supersaturation ratios while ...

Resistivity imaging and geomagnetic techniques were employed in combination to investigate the ground water accumulations in hard crystalline metamorphic terrains in Sri Lanka. This paper discusses ...

Intrinsic dichroism in amorphous and crystalline solids with helical light. Nature Communications, 2024; 15 (1) DOI: 10.1038/s41467-024-45735-9 ...

Potatoes are also a great example of a quasi-solid-state battery. Some solid-state batteries use a solid matrix suffused with a conductive solution: so-called "soggy sand" electrolytes.

Using glass as the most familiar example, its constituent elements of oxygen and silicon flow when heated. Cooled slowly, those particles have time to form into an ordered crystal structure called ...
