Did you know that water molecules under extreme confinement behave in a manner that’s completely different than any other solid, liquid, or gas? Researchers from the Department of Energy’s Oak Ridge ...

Neutron scattering and computational modeling have revealed unique and unexpected behavior of water molecules under extreme confinement that is unmatched by any known gas, liquid or solid states. In a ...

We all know from middle school science class that matter changes between a solid, a liquid, and a gas when you change the temperature or pressure acting on it. (Yes, some elements will change directly ...

Water’s just plain old water, right? Not when you trap it inside a tiny channel, it seems, because then it behaves like no other solid, liquid or gas. Researchers from the Department of Energy’s Oak ...
