Researchers used laser compression to study liquid carbon for the first time, enabling insights into extreme states relevant to planetary interiors and nuclear fusion. Liquid carbon can be found, for ...

When a solid material is immersed in a liquid, the liquid immediately next to its surface differs from that of the bulk liquid at the molecular level. This interfacial layer is critical to our ...

Water is an abundant and essential compound, found everywhere on Earth. Yet despite its familiarity and simple structure, water displays many unusual physical properties. For more than a century, ...

Researchers at the University of Bayreuth have developed a method using artificial intelligence that can significantly speed up the calculation of liquid properties. The AI approach predicts the ...

Researchers have been able to measure liquid carbon experimentally for the first time. They combined a high-power laser with the ultrashort X-ray laser flash of the European XFEL. With the declared ...
