Researchers have detailed the physics behind a phenomenon that allows them to create spin in liquid droplets using ultrasound waves, which concentrates solid particles suspended in the liquid. The ...

Inside most materials, little is moving. But a new "active nanocomposite" is teeming with motion: small particles connect or separate, thus changing the color of the entire material.

A suspension with a memory Over time, even in the absence of flow, the particle suspensions tend to settle into more solid-like states in a process known as "aging." The particles clump together ...

The discovery of phosphorus and fluorine in solid dust particles collected from the inner coma of comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko. That comet orbits the sun every 6.5 years.

Solids are divided into two main categories, crystalline solids and amorphous solids, based on how the particles are arranged. Crystalline solids Crystalline solids, or crystals, are regarded as ...
