16-08-11 Liquid methane-filled canyons hundreds of meters deep with walls as steep as ski slopes etch the surface of Titan, researchers report in a new study. The new findings provide the first direct evidence of these features on Saturns largest moon, and c...

15-11-18 Scientists at Queen's University Belfast have made a major breakthrough by making a porous liquid - with the potential for a massive range of new technologies including 'carbon capture'. Researchers in the School of Chemistry and Chemical Engineerin...

15-05-04 Bombardier beetles, which exist on every continent except Antarctica, have a pretty easy life. Virtually no other animals prey on them, because of one particularly effective defense mechanism: When disturbed or attacked, the beetles produce an inter...

13-08-21 University of Warwick scientists have shown how to tie knots in liquid crystals using a miniature Mbius strip made from silica（硅石） particles. By tying substances like this in knots, the researchers hope to understand how their intricate configur...

13-07-10 Researchers from North Carolina State University have developed three-dimensional (3-D) printing technology and techniques to create free-standing structures made of liquid metal at room temperature. It's difficult to create structures out of liquid...

13-05-28 In a move that would make the Alchemists of King Arthur's time green with envy, scientists have unraveled the formula for turning liquid cement into liquid metal. This makes cement a semi-conductor and opens up its use in the profitable consumer ele...

13-01-24 Researchers from North Carolina State University have developed elastic（有弹性的） , self-healing wires in which both the liquid-metal core and the polymer sheath（鞘，护套） reconnect at the molecular level after being severed. Because we're using...

12-12-29 Contributing geometric（几何学的） and topological（拓扑的） analyses of micro-materials, University of Massachusetts Amherst mathematician Robert Kusner aided experimental physicists at the University of Colorado (UC) by successfully explaining the...

11-10-12 Physicists have predicted that under the influence of sufficiently high electric fields, liquid droplets（液滴） of certain materials will undergo solidification, forming crystallites at temperature and pressure conditions that correspond to liquid...

10-10-06 Chemists at Vanderbilt University have created a new class of liquid crystals with unique electrical properties that could improve the performance of digital displays used on everything from digital watches to flat panel televisions. The achievement...
