Engineers have developed a new way to 3D-print liquid and solid materials together, potentially leading to more dynamic and useful products -- from robots to wearable electronic devices. Imagine a ...

Normally, when liquids solidify, their molecules become locked in place, making it much harder for ions to move and leading to a steep decrease in ionic conductivity. Now, scientists have synthesized ...

Put a bunch of fire ants into water, and they'll link their bodies together to form a solid ball that can float on the surface, transforming into a raft-like assemblage. Put that ball of ants on dry ...

A team at the University of Colorado Boulder has designed new kinds of liquid crystals that mirror the complex structures of some solid crystals—a major step forward in building flowing materials that ...

We all know from middle school science class that matter changes between a solid, a liquid, and a gas when you change the temperature or pressure acting on it. (Yes, some elements will change directly ...
