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 ...

The melting of materials seems like a simple phenomenon. However, when their thickness is reduced to just a few atoms, ...

Liquid crystals form a unique state of matter that blends the molecular mobility of liquids with the organised structure of crystalline solids. Their phase transitions, ranging from nematic to smectic ...

According to a newly published report from Dell'Oro Group, the trusted source for market information about the telecommunications, security, networks, and data center industries, the worldwide Data ...

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

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 ...

Liquid crystals derived from borophene have risen in popularity, owing to their applicability in optoelectronic and photonic devices. However, their development requires a very narrow temperature ...

Tokyo - Crystallization describes the formation of ordered structures from the disordered constituents of a liquid. Although the fundamental theory of crystal formation has been widely investigated ...

The process of liquid-to-glass transition is a complex procedure in science, as is the glass-to-liquid transition known as glass melting. In a new report published in Science Advances, Qi Zhang and a ...

Scientists have found the proof for a liquid-to-liquid transition in sulfur and of a new kind of critical point ending this transition. Scientists from the ESRF, together with teams from CEA and ...

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 ...
