When materials become just one atom thick, melting no longer follows the familiar rules. Instead of jumping straight from ...

Observation of a new phase of matter at the boundary between solid and liquid
The melting of materials seems like a simple phenomenon. However, when their thickness is reduced to just a few atoms, established rules waver. In this two-dimensional mode, new states emerge ...
Researchers have discovered that not all atoms in a liquid are in motion and that some remain stationary regardless of the temperature, significantly impacting the solidification process, including ...
Theoretical modelling explores the movement of atoms within a liquid nanodroplet of platinum that is confined inside a defect in a carbon support. The colours represent the mobility of the atoms: ...
Motionless atoms can trap liquid metal in a strange new state that shouldn’t exist. Scientists have discovered that a liquid does not always behave the way it seems. Even when a material is fully ...
Some atoms in a liquid stay fixed even at high temperatures, reshaping how solidification starts and enabling an unusual corralled supercooled liquid state. (Nanowerk News) Researchers have discovered ...
