Oobleck has long been my favorite example of a non-Newtonian fluid, and I’m not alone. It’s a hugely popular “kitchen science” experiment because it’s simple and easy to make. Mix one part water to ...

A research team has bridged a knowledge gap in atomic-scale heat motion. This new understanding holds promise for enhancing materials to advance an emerging technology called solid-state cooling. A ...

High-quality, single-crystal, ultra-cold solid helium exhibits supersolid behavior, suggesting that this frictionless solid flow is not a consequence of defects and grain boundaries in poor-quality, ...

New research has identified how liquid-like materials can change into a solid-like state without the addition of extra particles or changes in volume. Liquid-like materials with particles in, known as ...

One of the biggest issues facing the solid-state lithium-based batteries we all depend upon is of the performance of the anode; the transport of lithium ions and minimization of dendrite formation are ...
