Scientists unveil a solid electrolyte that moves lithium as fast as liquids, promising safer, fast-charging batteries.

The design and prediction of network topology is challenging, even when the components' principle interactions are strong. Now, frameworks with relatively weak 'chiral recognition' between organic ...

Normally, when liquids solidify, their molecules become locked in place, making it much harder for ions to move and leading to a steep decrease in ionic conductivity. Now, scientists have synthesized ...

For a long time, it was thought that amorphous solids do not selectively absorb light because of their disordered atomic structure. A new study disproves this theory and shows that amorphous solids ...

Understanding and reliably measuring the geometric properties of quantum states can shed new light on the intricate ...

Molten lava and yogurt and are well-known examples of non-Newtonian fluids, also known as soft solids. A soft solid can act like either a solid or a liquid, based upon the stress that has acted upon ...

We're part of an international team of scientists behind the creation of a new family of organic materials that can conduct ions - atoms or molecules ...

Substances can exist in three states of matter - solid, liquid and gas. All substances are made from particles, and the forces between the particles are different in solids, liquids and gases. The ...
