Did you know that water molecules under extreme confinement behave in a manner that’s completely different than any other solid, liquid, or gas? Researchers from the Department of Energy’s Oak Ridge ...

At temperatures above absolute zero, molecules in any substance move constantly in a random manner. Now, researchers have developed a way to capture the energy from this motion of liquid molecules and ...

Liquid Water’s Secret Phase? Most matter on Earth comes in one of three states or phases — the all-too-familiar solid, liquid, and gas trio. Depending on the environment and how the molecules of a ...

To make a solid crystal, molecules are generally so tightly packed together there's no room for any movement. It means that solid crystals -- despite their strength and durability -- have generally ...

Water’s just plain old water, right? Not when you trap it inside a tiny channel, it seems, because then it behaves like no other solid, liquid or gas. Researchers from the Department of Energy’s Oak ...
