Liquid water exhibits a remarkable range of dynamic behaviours and phase transformations that remain at the forefront of scientific investigation. Its complex hydrogen‐bonding network gives rise to ...

Scientists have found the proof for a liquid-to-liquid transition in sulfur and of a new kind of critical point ending this transition. Scientists from the ESRF, together with teams from CEA and ...

New research offers clearer insight into how phase transitions unfold at the atomic scale in real materials. When ice turns into water, the change happens almost instantly. Once the melting ...

Water, this seemingly ordinary molecule, continues to reveal unexpected properties. Scientists have simulated never-before-observed behavior, opening up new perspectives. The team from the University ...

Tokyo - Crystallization describes the formation of ordered structures from the disordered constituents of a liquid. Although the fundamental theory of crystal formation has been widely investigated ...

New research published in Nature documents evidence for a liquid-to-liquid transition in sulfur, a first-order phase transition that has been enigmatic to chemists. The original first-order transition ...

The National Institute for Materials Science (NIMS) has succeeded in direct observation of reversible transition in a trehalose aqueous solution between two liquid states by measuring the volume ...

While it is perhaps the most vital chemical compound in the universe due to its critical role in ecology and biology, there is a lot about water that is not fully understood. This is especially the ...

Liquid crystals derived from borophene have risen in popularity, owing to their applicability in optoelectronic and photonic devices. However, their development requires a very narrow temperature ...

The process of liquid-to-glass transition is a complex procedure in science, as is the glass-to-liquid transition known as glass melting. In a new report published in Science Advances, Qi Zhang and a ...

Researchers demonstrated that liquid-liquid transitions of a molecular liquid were coupled to crystallization behavior. The team was able to enhance the crystallization of triphenyl phosphite by ...
