“Once the material reaches a liquid-like structure it becomes easier for the atoms to move and reorganize, which prevents the accumulation of any further damage.” The result also “suggests that the ...

Heating that lasted only trillionths of a second raised a gold sample’s temperature to 19,000 K without melting it, a study ...

A mixture of gallium and copper showed spontaneous flip-flopping from liquid to solid. The flip-flopping extended up to 8-10% into the heated and observed sample morsels.

The search for such "electrorheological" fluids has been going on for decades, but enthusiasm waned when it appeared that no liquid would ever get hard enough in an electric field to be of much use.

This article explains the principles and applications of solid-liquid separation in the pharmaceuticalindustry highlighting its crucial role in quality control, and efficient production processes ...
