Solids, liquids and gases. In a solid like this brick, the particles are regularly arranged touching their neighbours and move only by vibrating. This explains why solids have a fixed shape.

solids have particles fixed tightly together in rows so they can’t move. In liquids, the particles are touching but are free to move around each other like balls in a ball pool. In a gas ...

Now scientists from the University of California San Diego have uncovered a key finding to another unique property: at high ...

Does it feel like a solid, liquid, or gas? Leave the shaving cream blob out overnight ... Do you notice a difference in how the mixture feels? The cornstarch particles do not dissolve, but are ...

Scientists have observed photons behaving as a supersolid, a unique quantum state where particles form a rigid structure but ...

Ranch dressing is actually a fifth state of matter known as soft matter. Soft matter can have properties of both liquids and ...

The focus is that matter, whether solid, liquid, or gas, is made up of particles; that dissolving and evaporation happen at the particle level; and that models can help explain these processes that we ...

Microsoft’s new “topological qubit” is not based on a solid, liquid or gas. It is another phase of matter that many experts did not think was possible.
