In the context of the development of smart health care towards digitalization, the new generation of photodetectors has a wide range of application prospects and huge market value. The characteristics ...
Icebergs float on water because the underlying liquid water has a higher density than the iceberg. Liquid water itself has its highest density at 4°C—one of the so-called anomalies of water, i.e.
A new analysis of archival data from the Cassini spacecraft has confirmed that the icy jets shooting from Saturn's moon Enceladus contain organic molecules - the key building blocks of life. This ...
A strange type of ice thought to dwell deep in the oceans of alien planets has finally been proven to exist. For the first time, researchers have directly observed a sort of hybrid phase of water ...
Scientists report the first look at electrons moving in real-time in liquid water; the findings open up a whole new field of experimental physics. In an experiment akin to stop-motion photography, ...
In a recent study, researchers developed modified norcorrole molecules whose side chains favored the formation of columnar -stacking structures. Using these compounds, they produced liquid crystals ...
A GIF showing ion movement in an organic electrolyte in both a disordered fluid state and a self-assembled crystalline state. Green dots representing negative ions move erratically between long, ...
Water drops plinking at the bottom of a sink may by spawned by the jiggling of individual molecules. A stream of liquid, like one from a trickling faucet, separates into droplets as it falls. This ...
Drug discovery is often described as searching for a needle in a haystack, with only a tiny number of drug compounds simultaneously safe, effective, and synthesizable. The reality is far more daunting ...
