Water isn't just liquid, ice, or vapor — under extreme conditions, it can transform into exotic phases, such as the newly observed plastic ice VII. This hybrid phase, predicted years ago but only ...

Calculating and visualizing a realistic trajectory of ink spreading through water has been a longstanding and enormous ...

Particles in gases - AQA Gases take up more space than solids or liquids and their particles are moving much faster. The temperature, pressure and volume of gases are all related. Sample exam ...

Density describes how closely packed the particles are in a solid, liquid or gas. There is little difference between the density of a liquid and its corresponding solid (eg water and ice).

Russia's state-owned Rosatom announced a prototype plasma engine which could speed up travel to other planets.

D-Wave Quantum said Wednesday that it had sold the world’s largest quantum computer to a German research institute, marking a milestone in a highly speculative sector. With the purchase, the Jülich ...

Human uptake of microplastic particles (MPs) is causing increasing health concerns, and there is mounting pressure to evaluate the associated risks. While MPs can be ingested, breathed in, or drank in ...
