Like water vapor on the bathroom mirror, gas molecules come together and condense into liquid droplets due to the attractive forces between them. In a study published in Nature Physics, researchers ...

(Nanowerk News) Glass might seem to be an ordinary material we encounter every day, but the physics at play inside are actually quite complex and still not completely understood by scientists. Some ...

Download the experiment instructions HERE! Let’s learn about the properties of liquids and solids: Solids are not compressible, they’re rigid, they don’t flow, and their particles are packed close ...
