Tokyo, Japan - A team at The University of Tokyo described in unprecedented detail the rare phenomenon called "liquid-to-liquid phase transitions" in a pure substance. By showing how a liquid made of ...

Using rigorous computer calculations, researchers have established evidence that supercooled silicon experiences a liquid-liquid phase transition, where at a certain temperature two different states ...

New phase: a new form of supercooled water has been characterized More evidence that supercooled water exists in two distinct liquid phases has surfaced in experiments done by Austen Angell and ...

New research published in Nature documents evidence for a liquid-to-liquid transition in sulfur, a first-order phase transition that has been enigmatic to chemists. The original first-order transition ...

The transition between a solid and a liquid phase, a key process in daily life and materials science, is generally driven by a change in temperature or pressure. However, a reversible change of state ...

Liquid crystals derived from borophene have risen in popularity, owing to their applicability in optoelectronic and photonic devices. However, their development requires a very narrow temperature ...

For better or worse, liquid-liquid phase separation (LLPS) happens. It’s beneficial when RNA and RNA-binding proteins (RBPs) form dynamic liquid assemblies required for many cell functions. It’s ...

“I’m afraid we have focused too much on protein secondary structures that appear to be important in biology, but have ignored low-complexity domains,” Van Den Bosch told Alzforum. Those low-complexity ...

(Nanowerk Spotlight) Many of the electronic devices we use in our everyday life employ liquid crystals in their optical displays – laptops, cell phones, flat screen TVs, digital watches, and ...

Scientists have described a rare 'liquid-to-liquid' phase transition in pure triphenyl phosphite. This may improve our control of transport properties of a liquid. A team at The University of Tokyo ...
