Everything that has mass is matter. In normal everyday life we come across matter in three states, solid, liquid and gas. They have a fixed shape and cannot flow The particles cannot move from ...

Although the three states of matter are solid, liquid, and gas, not all substances seem to fit perfectly into one of these groups. Take a look at the substance below and see if you can decide whether ...

It turns out that any material, no matter what it is made of, can exist in one of three forms: solid, liquid or gas. These are categories of stuff that have certain observable properties.

Earlier this week we broke down the complexities of mixed-phase precipitation forecasting.Within that we briefly touched on a key component to that complexity w ...

After viewing a model of salt, students help develop models for the processes of salt dissolving, water evaporating to form a gas, and salt re-forming as a crystal. The focus is that matter, whether ...

For a hundred years, physicists have grappled with a seemingly simple question: How can the transition of substances into different states be easily predicted? Understanding the three states of ...

Caltech researchers have developed PAMs, a novel material that blends the properties of solids and liquids, making them ...

Cryogenic liquids undergo large volume expansion upon transition to the gas phase, for example, one volume of liquid nitrogen vaporizes to 694 volumes of nitrogen gas. Consequently, the warming of a ...
