If you cool a solid, the molecules move more slowly and move a little closer together. Step 2 Show an animation to help students compare atoms and molecules in solids and liquids. Explain that the ...

A research team has synthesized three-dimensionally shaped molecules containing an internal twist and shown that they possess ...

Solid is a state of matter in which the molecules are packed closely together and usually arranged in a regular pattern. A solid object has a fixed shape and volume.

Sublimation occurs when molecules of a solid move fast enough to overcome the attractions from other molecules and become a gas. Since frozen carbon dioxide never becomes a liquid under normal ...

Molecules that makes up the solid crystals found in nature are generally so tightly packed together that there's no room for any of them to move. So despite their strength and durability, ...

In solids, it decays into an ionized state—a plasma—called warm dense matter, which is normally found only in extreme settings such as nuclear fusion reactions and the cores of giant planets.

A graduate student and his team of researchers have turned the chemistry world on its ear by becoming the first ever to prove that tiny interlocked molecules can function inside solid materials, ...

Griessl, S. J. H. et al. Room-temperature scanning tunneling microscopy manipulation of single C60 molecules at the liquid–solid interface: Playing nanosoccer. J. Phys. Chem. B 108, 11556 ...

Researchers at the University of Jyväskylä in collaboration with research groups in Italy, England and Germany have developed a new method to study interactions between electrons in solids and ...

The solid-state pores provide a new way of studying the folding and pairing configurations of single long-chain molecules, the differences between chemically identical molecules in a statistical ...
