A new liquid crystal system rapidly switches between clear and opaque states, enabling fast smart windows and controllable emulsions for material synthesis. (Nanowerk News) Cornell researchers have ...

What if a doctor could inject an electricity-conducting liquid into the body, let it temporarily solidify to record nerve signals or jump-start healing, and then return it to liquid form for easy ...

A nanoporous material that holds hydrogen at twice the density of cryogenic liquid H2 could address the challenges of large-scale liquid and gas storage that have held this clean fuel back. Hydrogen ...

Shape-shifting liquid metal robots might not be limited to science fiction anymore. Miniature machines can switch from solid to liquid and back again to squeeze into tight spaces and perform tasks ...

The material could even make for liquid screws by melting into a socket and solidifying to hold two pieces together. Of course, all this is just proof of concept work so far, and arguably there are ...
