Based on the interlocking structure of chainmail, this material has all the best parts of both solids and liquids.

This means that cats should be classified as liquids, right? The question is not so easy to answer. “If we wait long enough, ...

Discovering a new class of matter in the lab of Chiara Daraio at Caltech, researchers have identified a type of material that uniquely responds to stress, behaving like a fluid under some conditions ...

It turns out that any material, no matter what it is made of, can exist in one of three forms: solid, liquid or gas. These are categories of stuff that have certain observable properties.

Everything that has mass is matter. In normal everyday life we come across matter in three states, solid, liquid and gas. They have a fixed shape and cannot flow The particles cannot move from ...

Quantum spin liquids are fascinating states of matter where magnetic spins stay disordered, defying the usual rules of magnetism. Scientists have made an exciting discovery about one such material.

Caltech researchers have developed PAMs, a novel material that blends the properties of solids and liquids, making them ...

The unique structure of PAMs has the potential to transform industries, from healthcare to robotics, by offering properties never before seen in materials science. PAMs represent a bold step forward ...
