Your science textbook likely told you that matter exists in four states. You know them as solid, liquid, gas, and plasma. For ...

What if particles don't slow down in a crowd, but move faster? Physicists from Leiden worked together and discovered a new state of matter, where particles pass on energy through collisions and create ...

Scientists have discovered a new way that matter can exist—one that is different from the usual states of solid, liquid, gas ...

We explore Supercritical Fluids and how being "in the between" is their superpower. Supercritical Fluids are one the strangest states of matter and yet they are found everywhere from Decaf Coffee ...

The cornstarch particles do not dissolve, but are suspended in the water. When the mixture is stirred or hit, the particles push together and make the liquid harder to move through. When the mixture ...

Porous liquids allow for efficient gas separation Date: August 12, 2020 Source: Karlsruher Institut für Technologie (KIT) Summary: Scientists have developed 'porous liquids': Nanoparticles, that ...

The particles of a gas are much more spread out and move more independently compared to the particles of liquids and solids. Whether a substance is a solid, liquid, or gas at a certain temperature ...

The phenomenon can be explained intuitively. The particles within a gas or liquid collide again and again. This slows down fast particles, while slow particles are accelerated.

In liquids the particles are mainly touching, but some gaps have appeared in the structure; these gaps allow the particles to move and, although there are also forces between them, the particles ...
