What happens when you squeeze DNA? Can pressure reveal something about how our genetic material is packed, protected, and ...

Water may appear simple but behaves in ways that surprise even the world’s greatest scientists. A new international study has ...

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 ...

Electrons in two-dimensional (2D) systems placed under strong magnetic fields often behave in unique ways, prompting the ...

Scientists created this new phase of ice—known as Ice XXI—by supercompressing water to 20,000 times normal pressure in just ...

Under pressure: X-ray scattering at high pressure and temperature provides new insights into the composition of the Earth’s outer core. (Courtesy: Shutterstock ...

The work has now demonstrated it is feasible to replace the solvent with an ionic liquid of low vapor pressure, which does not perturb the sample characteristics. This allows the molecules to be ...

Scientists have forced a solid magnetic metal into a spin liquid state, which may lead to insights into superconductivity and quantum computing. It sounds like a riddle: What do you get if you take ...

Introduction Ever wonder where those little drops of water on the outside of your cold can of soda pop or bottle of water come from? That’s condensation! Cold surfaces can cause water vapor in the air ...
