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 ...

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 ...

Researchers modeled the role of hydrodynamics in liquid-liquid transitions of a single-component system. They showed that domain formation is related to the density upon transition, which can be ...

Crystallization is a well-explored natural phenomenon where atoms or molecules arrange themselves into highly organized solid forms called crystals. This phenomenon has been widely utilized across ...

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 ...

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 ...

(Nanowerk News) Glasses are peculiar materials exhibiting excellent and well-known properties, but also some phenomena that are still not fully understood, even though they have been studied for more ...

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 ...

(Nanowerk Spotlight) Many of the electronic devices we use in our everyday life employ liquid crystals in their optical displays – laptops, cell phones, flat screen TVs, digital watches, and ...

The new information about the state of water and the two phases only occurs at very low temperatures, at a point close to minus 63 Celsius. By applying X-ray lasers, scientists from Stockholm ...
