When combined in the liquid state at intermediate compositions, they separate into two distinct liquids, a behavior known as ...

Glass transition is a Grand Challenge in condensed matter physics and still reveals surprises, despite decades of intense research. For instance, diffusion in glassy liquids was until now thought to ...

A combined simulation and experimental study shows that a race between bond exchange reactions and segmental diffusion ...

A new electrostatic levitation study clarifies how the strings and clusters of atoms that appear in a cooling molten liquid affect diffusion. Herbert Schober is a scientist at the Peter Grünberg ...

Physicists have found that some liquid metals which appear to be non-magnetic -- such as mercury, aluminium, gallium and lead -- actually contain magnetic moments that appear and disappear on ...
