Solids, liquids and gases. In a solid like this brick, the particles are regularly arranged touching their neighbours and move only by vibrating. This explains why solids have a fixed shape. In a ...

MEASUREMENTS of the properties of condensed solutions of the inert gases should prove important in the development of the theory of solutions because of the comparatively simple nature of the ...

Chemically, substances are classified into three types, solids, liquids and gases, but if it is said to classify a swinging fire as one of these three, you should be troubled by the answer. What on ...

Let’s see if we can figure it out states of matter together. Let’s talk about states of matter. You know your states of matter don’t you? We have solids, liquids and gasses, and plasmas, quark-gluon ...

Solids can be melted by heating, but in the quantum world it can also be the other way around: An experimental team has shown how a quantum liquid forms supersolid structures by heating. The ...

Researchers report that the way a tissue's cells are arranged can serve as a fingerprint for the tissue's 'phase' -- whether it is more like a solid, liquid, or gas. For example, tumors that are more ...
