Much like its central character, the Friday the 13 th franchise just can’t seem to die. Since the original installment blazed onto movie screens in 1980, we’ve been treated to twelve feature films, a ...

Scientists continue to make intriguing breakthroughs that could help reshape our lives. This time, a group of scientists managed to create a shape-shifting liquid metal that can transition between the ...

We are living in a world surrounded by liquid and flow, and understanding the principles that govern its movement is vital in our high-tech world. Through mathematical modeling and experimentation, ...

Soft electronics are an exciting and innovative class of technology that brings together bendable, stretchable semiconducting materials for applications in areas ranging from fashion to health care.

Going bottom-up is no problem for a boat on the underside of a levitated liquid. In a container, liquid can be levitated over a layer of gas by shaking the container up and down because the repeated, ...

An elusive form of matter called a quantum spin liquid isn’t a liquid, and it doesn’t spin — but it sure is quantum. Predicted nearly 50 years ago, quantum spin liquids have long evaded definitive ...

Liquid metals can spontaneously bulge, protrude, branch and slither in response to certain ions in their environment. This happens due to the Marangoni effect, which starts with uneven changes in the ...

Early-stage gastric cancer can be assessed more accurately using a new liquid biopsy tool that predicts lymph node metastasis, as reported by researchers from Science Tokyo. They developed a model ...

Although optical fibers are highly effective at data transmission, they're also relatively brittle. An experimental new type of optical fiber addresses that limitation, by incorporating a core made of ...

People who investigate scientific topics either love or hate glass, which is a confusing none-of-the-above unicorn: neither fully liquid nor fully solid, exhibiting some properties of each, but ...

The existence of liquid water on Mars — one of the more hotly debated matters about our cold, red neighbor — is looking increasingly likely. New research published Monday in the journal Nature ...
