In some laboratories, a clear, oily liquid is treated less like a reagent and more like contraband, locked away behind blast doors and handled with rituals that look closer to bomb disposal than bench ...

Water is clear and colorless and has many interesting and useful characteristics. There are other liquids that are also clear and colorless but have properties very different from water. In this ...

Liquid metals can spontaneously bulge, protrude, branch and slither in response to certain ions in their environment. This happens due to the Marangoni effect, which starts with uneven changes in the ...

Real-time measurements provide missing insight into chemical separations to recover cobalt, a critical raw material used to make batteries and magnets for modern technologies. Results track the ...

Citation: For outstanding contributions to the theory of hydrophobic interactions, polar and ionic solutions, and the statistical mechanical treatment of solvation-free energies. Current position: ...

Light can act like waves and particles, depending on the experiment you use to observe. It can also be turned into a liquid state in extreme condition such as at absolute zero degree environment. For ...
