In a development that could shift our basic understanding of fluid mechanics, researchers from Drexel University have reported that, given the right circumstances, it is possible to induce a simple ...

Scientists have discovered something that seems almost impossible: under the right conditions, ordinary liquids can snap apart like solid objects. In experiments, researchers found that when certain ...

Researchers from Drexel University have discovered that liquids can, it appears, fracture like solids ...

Supercooling, a state where liquids don't solidify even below their normal freezing point, still puzzles scientists today. An example of this phenomenon is found everyday in meteorology: clouds in ...

It was with simple triethylammonium nitrate that a pure low-melting salt — an ionic liquid — was first identified more than a century ago. In the 1930s, a patent application described cellulose ...
