Researchers at the California NanoSystems Institute at UCLA published a step-by-step framework for determining the ...

Material engineers and scientists have long wanted to understand the atomic structures of amorphous solids such as glass, rubber and plastics more fully. Unlike the structures of crystalline materials ...

Recent research published in Science introduces a promising solid electrolyte material that could improve the performance of next-generation lithium batteries, particularly at lower temperatures.

Water doesn’t behave the same way in a glass as it does as ice in your freezer. When water is heated to several thousand ...

At extreme pressures and temperatures, water becomes superionic — a solid that behaves partly like a liquid and conducts electricity. This unusual form is believed to shape the magnetic fields of ...

Solid-state batteries could store more energy and charge faster than today’s batteries, but they tend to crack and fail over ...

Scientists have discovered a new state of matter that isn't a solid, liquid, or gas. Researchers call this new type of material a 'corralled supercooled liquid'. Atoms in a liquid are normally like ...
