Supercritical water also shows promise as an environmentally friendly solvent for industrial processes such as catalysis, and ...

Their simulations, based on machine learning and quantum mechanics, modeled a transition between two distinct liquid phases. This discovery, published in Nature Physics, could have major implications.

However, expanding this to two-dimensional systems presented new challenges, including the risk of disruptions in the liquid-crystal patterns that would affect light behavior. To overcome this ...

Nonlinear fluid velocity profiles developed after the octadecane solid-to-liquid phase transition, which recovered to linear profiles after octadecane melting at lower shear rates but notably not at ...
