By modeling dehydration-driven fluid pressure, a new study links deep fluids to where megathrust earthquakes end and slow slip begins.

They have to make physical contact, meaning over time they wear down and eventually break. These liquid gears may change that ...

NASA's Lucy spacecraft revealed that a bizarre wobbling, peanut-shaped asteroid holds surprising clues about ancient water ...

We explore a range of liquids with bizarre physical properties that behave nothing like normal water. Watch this Komodo dragon kill prey 3x its size... it doesn’t let go House passes war powers ...

For minerologists, a mine is an invitation. The earth has been broken open, its veins laid bare – and those who enter hope to find unknown wonders. In the 1970s, Kali Kafi mine near the small Iranian ...

Scientists have discovered something that seems almost impossible: under the right conditions, ordinary liquids can snap apart like solid objects. In experiments, researchers found that when certain ...

Publishers’ adoption of generative AI is reducing the friction between content and format, making it easier for the same story to appear as shorter summaries, audio, or video, often in real time. To ...

High school science misses a lot of the science researchers actually work with. For example, you learn that there are three states of matter—solid, liquid, and gas—but in advanced physics, things get ...

Scientists uncovered a quantum spin liquid, a state of matter that may have applications for quantum information. (Nanowerk News) The blue-green lab-grown crystals look like solid rocks, but their ...

If you’ve strolled down the supplement aisle lately, you’ve probably noticed rows and rows of colorful bottles—some filled with gummies, others with pills, and then, standing out among the rest, those ...

Geometrically confined apolar nematic liquid crystals lose rotational symmetry and form a multifunctional polar lattice of fluid elastic dipoles with controllable orientation. The lattice is of ...

Superconductors are materials that, below a certain critical temperature, exhibit zero electrical resistance and completely expel magnetic fields, a phenomenon known as the Meissner effect. They can ...
