Figure 1. Chemical formula and phase sequence of 8CB. In order to investigate the microscopic behavior of free-standing film (FSF), the molecular dynamics (MD) simulation was carried out for a system ...

Molecular structure of water at gold electrodes revealed Date: October 23, 2014 Source: DOE/Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory Summary: Researchers have recorded the first observations of the ...

IntroductionWhen a charged object such as a rubber balloon is brought close to a fine stream of a polar liquid, the stream is attracted toward the electrical charge. If the same charged object is ...

Researchers at Duke University have uncovered the molecular inner workings of a material that could underpin next-generation rechargeable batteries. Unlike today's popular lithium-ion batteries ...

Liquid water diffusion at molecular level Date: February 24, 2012 Source: University of Granada Summary: Researchers have described for the first time the diffusion of liquid water through ...

Liquid-liquid phase separation (LLPS) has emerged as a major organizing principle in cells. Recent work showed that multiple components of integrin-mediated focal adhesions, including p130Cas can form ...

The structure of liquid carbon elucidated by in situ X-ray diffraction, in Nature, 2025 (DOI: 10.1038/s41586-025-09035-6) Additional information: Prof. Dominik Kraus ...

The atomic structure of liquid carbon has been experimentally measured for the first time using laser compression and ultrafast X-ray analysis at extreme pressures and temperatures near 4,500 °C.
