Researchers have identified a new physicochemical principle governing liquid–liquid phase separation in polymer solutions.

The melting of materials seems like a simple phenomenon. However, when their thickness is reduced to just a few atoms, established rules waver. In this two-dimensional mode, new states emerge ...

Liquid-liquid phase separation (LLPS) and crystallization are intertwined phenomena of considerable importance in both fundamental research and industrial applications, particularly in the ...

Motionless atoms can trap liquid metal in a strange new state that shouldn’t exist. Scientists have discovered that a liquid does not always behave the way it seems. Even when a material is fully ...

The laboratory of Ege Kavalali, professor and chair of the Department of Pharmacology, published a paper in Nature ...

Liquid-liquid phase separation is not a precursor to formation of amyloid fibrils, a pathological hallmark of Parkinson's disease, shows study. Rather, the formation of protein into liquid droplets ...

Scientists have uncovered a key finding to one of water's unique properties: at high pressure and low temperature, liquid water separates into two distinct liquid phases -- one high-density and one ...

Scientists discover a new solid-liquid hybrid state in nanoparticles, revealing unique properties crucial for improving ...
