While the vapour–liquid–solid process has been widely used for growing one-dimensional nanostructures, quantitative understanding of the process is still far from adequate. For example, the origins ...

In any industrial process that relies on solid-liquid separation, the filter press remains one of the most reliable and widely used pieces of equipment. It delivers consistent dewatering, reduces ...

Engineers have developed a new way to 3D-print liquid and solid materials together, potentially leading to more dynamic and useful products -- from robots to wearable electronic devices. Imagine a ...

A new technical paper titled “Facilitating Small-Pitch Interconnects with Low-Temperature Solid-Liquid Interdiffusion Bonding” was published by researchers at Aalto University in Finland. “The trend ...

Some atoms in a liquid stay fixed even at high temperatures, reshaping how solidification starts and enabling an unusual corralled supercooled liquid state. (Nanowerk News) Researchers have discovered ...

Solid, liquid, gas … and something else? While most of us learn about just three states of matter in elementary school, physicists have discovered several exotic varieties that can exist under extreme ...
