On June 14, 1914, the first patent for a liquid-fueled rocket design was granted to Dr. Robert Goddard, an American scientist ...

Korenaga is Professor of Earth and Planetary Sciences at Yale University. He tells Srijana Mitra Das at TE about how gold got to Earth:It’s a little surprising to connect to Jun Korenaga, not least ...

Researchers have detailed the physics behind a phenomenon that allows them to create spin in liquid droplets using ultrasound waves, which concentrates solid particles suspended in the liquid.

Seems like a solid. So you shake the bottle up and down, and a big blob of dressing plops out and hits your plate. Seems like a liquid. But the dressing doesn’t spread all over the plate ...

PAMs combine the characteristics of solids and fluids. Under low stress, their particles slide over each other, as in a liquid. But under stronger pressure, they lock into place, forming a rigid ...

We've always heard that a calorie is a calorie is a calorie. It doesn't matter if it's a calorie from bread, candy, coffee, or a salad. Whether you're on a weight loss journey, a healthier eating ...

Some colonoscopies are unsuccessful or need to be repeated early because of an inadequate preparation, so it makes sense to stick to liquids and reduce the amount of solid waste. Related ...

Mix one part water to two parts corn starch, add a dash of food coloring for fun, and you've got oobleck, which behaves as either a liquid or a solid, depending on how much stress is applied.

where substances display properties of both solids and liquids, and discover the science behind this mysterious state of matter. Substances with viscoelastic properties, such as honey, can flow ...

Many believe this is because glass is actually a liquid that has flowed down the pane over the centuries. In contrast, others argue that glass does not flow, because it's a solid — or maybe an ...

New seismic studies suggest that it’s not just a solid ball of iron, as has been assumed, but might have pockets of liquid iron throughout. Like flakes settling at the bottom of a snow globe ...
