The liquid crystals used in displays nowadays are usually in a nematic phase, i.e. a liquid-like state of almost parallel oriented molecules. However, there is another liquid crystal phase which has a ...

Understanding the molecular interactions in binary liquid mixtures is fundamental to both theoretical studies and practical applications in chemistry and engineering. In these systems, the diverse ...

Liquids and solutions are complex environments—think, for example, of sugar dissolving in water, where each sugar molecule ...

The separation process can be conducted using various instruments, but the most fitting method depends on the mixture’s properties. This article covers the importance of solid-liquid separation in the ...

Interesting formations: an example of droplet shapes that are produced when an electric field is applied to an oil mixture. (Courtesy: Aalto University) When a simple system of two liquids is driven ...

A homogeneous mixture is also known as a solution. It is a substance composed of two or more substances that are distributed uniformly at a molecular level or microscopic. In easier terms, homogeneous ...

Sometimes, science moves forward with a spark of genius. Other times, it happens by accident—like when a graduate student shook a vial of liquid and ended up discovering a material that seems to ...

I've got a question for you guys. Do you think I can fit this length of polystyrene into this jar? Yes. No. No? Yeah? I like that – you lot have got some faith in me! Excellent. Right, this is what we ...

Scientists have discovered a way to write directly into liquid water, creating clear and long-lasting patterns which float below the surface of the fluid. In the new study, published Aug. 21 in the ...
