New Form Of Matter: Supersolid Is Both Superfluid And Crystalline At The Same Time

By using lasers to manipulate a superfluid gas known as a Bose-Einstein condensate, the team was able to coax the condensate into a quantum phase of matter that has a rigid structure — like a solid, and can flow without viscosity, a key characteristic of a ...

Water Structure: It's Different At Nanoscale Size And Different Temperature

The surface of water drops at 100 nm size changes with temperature. At room temperature, the surface water molecules of these droplets have much stronger interactions than a normal water surface. The structural difference corresponds to a difference in tem ...
