A new geometrical analysis shows that there is some order in the disorderly arrangements of the molecules of a liquid. The method may lead to a general theory of the liquid state By J. D. Bernal ...

Structure of solids and liquids is the study of the physical properties of matter in which there is a non-negligible interaction between the constituent atoms or molecules. While the atoms or ...

When a charged object such as a rubber balloon is brought close to a fine stream of a polar liquid, the stream is attracted toward ... to both negative and positive charges because the polar molecules ...

As a result, structures such as rings or chains of water molecules can form in the liquid. The structure of liquid water is therefore not just a random arrangement of individual water molecules ...

The structure of water can directly explain ... a property associated with cohesion of similar molecules at a liquid-gas interface that provides a tendency toward inward contraction of the liquid ...

Explain that in liquid water, the water molecules are attracted to each other so they are ... and arrange themselves to become the crystal structure of ice.

Researchers at Duke University have uncovered the molecular inner workings of a material that could underpin next-generation ...

fundamental properties of liquid crystals, polymers, nano-structured and other functional materials, as well as their photonic and electrooptic applications. Our research revolves around the chemical ...

Schematic representation of liquid crystal orientation within a bicontinuous porous structure, depicting the molecular alignment before, during, and after the application of an electric field. The top ...
