Scientists have measured the density of liquid iron -- the main component of rocky planet cores -- under conditions similar to Earth's liquid core: 1,000,000 atmospheres and 4,000 degrees Celsius.

Adam Sherwinski shows ciLiving host, Jaclyn Friedlander how to make a 3-layer float to test the density of each liquid In ...

Water is so common that we take it for granted. Yet water also has very strange properties compared to most other liquids. In addition to ordinary water and water vapor, or steam, there are at least ...

Liquid water’s crystal structure (left) compared to that of ordinary water ice (right). Graphic: University of Cambridge If you thought ice varieties got no more interesting than crushed versus cubed, ...

A collaboration between scientists at Cambridge and UCL has led to the discovery of a new form of ice that more closely resembles liquid water than any other and may hold the key to understanding this ...

Introduction You probably know that when solid objects are placed in liquid, they can sink or float. But did you know that liquids can also sink or float? In fact, it is possible to stack different ...

Using the large synchrotron radiation facility SPring-8 in Japan, a collaboration of researchers from Kumamoto University, the University of Tokyo, and others from Japan and France have precisely ...
