A study investigates whether disorder mimics or destroys the quantum liquid state in a prominent compound.
A new liquid metal can turn motion into energy, even when completely submerged in water.
The way "micro-swimmers" mimic rock climbers navigate could shed light on how bacteria move in the body and could lead to new ways to deliver drugs.
Self-propelling liquid could lead to a class of drugs that autonomously flow toward a specific group of cells or organs, researchers say.
Scientists have found a way to make droplets chase each other like predator and prey. It hasn't been done before in a synthetic system.
With a bit of voltage, researchers have shown they can turn droplets of liquid metal into streams the diameter of a human hair.
Artisanal makers of mezcal use tiny bubbles to determine when the alcohol level is right. Fluid dynamics researchers investigated how it works.
Researchers have figured out how to measure the viscosity of droplets. That could help control pesticide spraying, ink-jet printing, and more.
A new experiment let researchers capture the midpoint in glass's transition from liquid to solid at 60,000 frames per second.
The huge machine keeps ice at the right temperature to examine how melting glaciers slide. It led to a new "slip law" to benefit future research.
