Two-phase equilibrium: A binary colloidal mixture can exist in up to six phases at the same time. (Courtesy: R Tuiner) A binary colloidal mixture can exist in up to six phases at the same time, ...

Asymmetric interactions between molecules may serve as a stabilizing factor for biological systems. A new model reveals this regulatory role of non-reciprocity. The scientists aim to understand the ...

Students will learn how to categorize matter as either pure substances or mixtures. Students will apply tests, based on physical properties of matter samples, to determine whether a mixture is ...

In the world of small things, shape, order and orientation are surprisingly important, according to findings from a new study. Chemists used computer simulations to study a very simple model of ...

Scientists are finally getting to the bottom of the mechanism behind the familiar "kitchen chemistry" experiment using water and corn flour. A thick mixture of the two pours like a liquid but is hard ...
