Our understanding of the molecular dynamics of growing crystals is quite ... during this free interactive recording as he examines how the ice surface structure changes with temperature, how this ...

In this article, we explore how the molecular structure, chemical properties and ... results in more void space than in the liquid phase Ice floats; freezing occurs at the top of a water body ...

This unique formation of electrons is called the Wigner crystal (also called electron ice). This crystal holds importance in ...

Show students a model of a salt crystal on the molecular level. Explain that one way to make ... and arrange themselves to become the crystal structure of ice.

Microplastics cause clouds to form in places where they wouldn't otherwise, which is likely to have knock-on effects on the ...

Researchers have taken direct images of the Wigner molecular crystal, a new quantum phase of an electron solid. The ...

We also analyzed the plastic fragments’ surfaces to determine their molecular structure, since ice nucleation could depend on ...

Water is essential for life, but there's still much we don't understand. For instance, how do water molecules connect through ...

We also analyzed the plastic fragments’ surfaces to determine their molecular structure, since ice nucleation could depend on the microplastics’ surface chemistry. For most of the plastics we studied, ...

A six-mile-thick crust of methane trapped in water ice could explain many of the saturnian moon's weird properties ...

Here, X-rays are directed at a crystallized sample to create a diffraction pattern, ultimately revealing a t3D molecular structure ... to generate a "glass-like" ice. Rather than needing to ...

Electrons typically travel at high speeds, zipping through matter unbound. In the 1930s, physicist Eugene Wigner predicted ...
