A study published in Nature Physics provides new molecular-level evidence from simulations that liquid water is not a single ...

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 ...

In a recently published article in the journal Nature Physics, a team of researchers with the participation of the University of Augsburg reports about unexpectedly universal correlations between the ...

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 ...

Melting is well understood in terms of the Lindemann criterion, which essentially states that crystalline materials melt when the thermal vibrations of their atoms become so vigorous that they shake ...

(Nanowerk News) Glasses are peculiar materials exhibiting excellent and well-known properties, but also some phenomena that are still not fully understood, even though they have been studied for more ...

Chiral magnetic order occurring in several condensed-matter systems has added a new dimension to the realization of novel functionalities and exotic fundamental physics 1,2. Magnetic skyrmions, the ...

In 1934, physicist Eugene Wigner theorized that when electrons in metals are brought to ultracold temperatures, these electrons would be frozen in their tracks and form a rigid, non-electricity ...
