Liquids can provide some especially tricky challenges for space travelers, but new research from the University of Mississippi could help engineer smarter, more efficient fluid control in zero- and ...

Inside Silke Weinfurtner’s laboratory at the University of Nottingham in the UK, a giant water tank is helping her team better understand the complexity of the universe by standing in as an analogue ...

For more than a century, schoolbook physics has divided matter into neat categories like solid, liquid, gas, and plasma. A ...

Negative pressure is a rare and challenging-to-detect phenomenon in physics. Using liquid-filled optical fibers and sound waves, researchers have now discovered a new method to measure it. In ...

Capillary waves represent the intrinsic, thermally induced fluctuations at the boundary between liquid and vapour phases. These microscopic undulations, which are influenced by both surface tension ...

"If we could stand at the edge of one of Titan's seas, we might see waves of liquid methane and ethane lapping on the shore and crashing on the coasts during storms." When you purchase through links ...

For the first time, scientists have created a permanently magnetic liquid. These liquid droplets can morph into various shapes and be externally manipulated to move around, according to a new study.

Liquid-electron microscopy (EM) is an established advanced characterization method, although it has only recently been making waves in the field of structural biology. In this article, Samantha Berry, ...

The shape of water can help researchers manipulate how much energy flows through a barrier. Likun Zhang (right) senior scientist at the National Center for Physical Acoustics, and Zhengwu Wang, a ...
