Scientists achieve optical control of phase and group velocities in everyday liquids
The phase and the group velocity of light propagating in conventional optical media cannot exceed the speed of light in ...
Understanding supercooled water: how liquid remains unfrozen below its freezing point
Earlier this week we broke down the complexities of mixed-phase precipitation forecasting.Within that we briefly touched on a key component to that complexity w ...

Air pollution clouds the mind and makes everyday tasks challenging
People's ability to interpret emotions or focus on performing a task is reduced by short-term exposure to particulate matter (PM) air pollution, potentially making everyday activities, such as the ...
Did Scientists Just Create a ‘New Type of Matter?’
Based on the interlocking structure of chainmail, this material has all the best parts of both solids and liquids.
Surface roughness disrupts glass transition in colloidal ellipsoids, offering a new material design parameter
The so-called glass transition is the process by which some liquid-like materials become solid-like, without forming a ...
