Liquid metal refers to a class of metallic materials that remain in a liquid state at or near room temperature. These materials possess unique properties, such as high electrical and thermal ...

Magnetic materials in a quantum spin liquid phase are of great interest in the pursuit of exotic state of matter and quantum computation. But in the quantum realm, things are not always what they seem ...

That makes the new material a stretchy, flexible polymer with a liquid metal center that effectively prevents gases and liquids from passing through. In tests of the material’s effectiveness, the team ...

Researchers in Japan have developed a new carbon capture material that absorbs significantly more ...

A mysterious magnetic material once thought to host an exotic “quantum spin liquid” has turned out to be something entirely ...

Quantum spin liquids are exotic states of matter in which spins (i.e., the intrinsic angular momentum of electrons) do not settle into an ordered pattern and continue to fluctuate, even at extremely ...

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 ...

MIT spin-off Rapid Liquid Print has raised $7 million in funding for its novel liquid-based 3D printing technology. Boston-based Rapid Liquid Print was founded as an additive manufacturing startup in ...

Renewable energy sources are becoming increasingly popular. However, such energy can be wasted if an excess is available when it’s not yet needed. A particularly relevant example is solar power; solar ...
