Dive into DIY metal melting projects showcasing how to transform solid metal into liquid form using safe, accessible methods.

Students will see how matter changes between various states such as a solid to a liquid. In this lesson, students will see how matter changes between various states such as a solid to a liquid. They ...

Phase transitions occur when the chemical potentials (including bulk and interfacial contributions) of two phases are equal. For systems with large interfaces, such as thin films or small particles, ...

Physicists in the US have gained new insights into one most of the basic phenomena in physics -- the melting of a solid. Arjun Yodh and colleagues at the University of Pennsylvania and Swarthmore ...

Finally, they watched the whole process using static solid-state deuterium nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy.

Substances can exist in three states of matter - solid, liquid and gas. Substances can change states. To change the state of a substance energy must be transferred to, or from, the substance. Phew! On ...

Researchers have discovered a new phenomenon of so-called metastability in a liquid phase. This state is common in supercooled liquids, which are liquids that cool below the freezing point without ...

Magnetoactive phase transitional matter molded in the shape of a Lego minifigure escapes from a cage (Video: Qingyuan Wang, Chengfeng Pan, Yuanxi Zhang, Zhipeng Chen, Carmel Majidi, Lelun Jiang) This ...
