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 ...

Clouds affect Earth's weather and climate in many ways. New research suggests that the presence of microplastic particles ...

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.

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

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

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, ...

Using ESO's Very Large Telescope (VLT), an international team of astronomers has inspected an icy protoplanetary disk of a ...

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 ...

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