Earth’s core, the deepest part of our planet, is characterized by extremely high pressure and temperature. It is composed of a liquid outer core and solid inner core. The inner core is formed and ...

Have you ever turned a liquid into a solid just by tapping on it? Watch this fun video and learn how to conduct a viscosity experiment at home with a few simple steps! Click here to download a PDF of ...

Researchers using a high-speed camera have captured the moments a fluid reacts like a solid, through a new method of fluid observation under pressurized conditions. They examined fluids that have a ...

High-speed cameras are useful for capturing the unseen world, and that includes the occasional example of oddball physics. Researchers have used a camera recording at 1,000 frames per second to spot a ...

In its current form, the new diffuser could be used to calibrate a wide range of imaging systems, but the researchers believe that their mechanism could ultimately lead to holographic video screens or ...

If I were asked to define what a fluid is, I would most likely use the definition I learned in grade school: a state of matter that flows and takes the form of the container it is in. Similarly, a ...

THE discussion arranged in Section B (Chemistry) on Sept. 6 at the York meeting of the British Association, was finally divided into two parts as it was agreed that the differences between solid ...
