Some solid materials can cool down or heat up when pressure is applied or released. This behavior enables cooling and heating ...

Cooling technologies at a crossroadsRefrigeration is an essential part of modern life, from food preservation and medical storage to climate control ...

Concave, umbrella-like metal complexes provide space to enable the largest molecular rotor operational in the solid-state. Solid materials are generally known to be rigid and unmoving, but scientists ...

Under the right circumstances, electrons can actually “freeze” into a bizarre solid form. Now, physicists at Berkeley Lab have created and taken the first ever direct images of this structure. At low ...

(Nanowerk News) Solid materials are generally known to be rigid and unmoving, but scientists are turning this idea on its head by exploring ways to incorporate moving parts into solids. This can ...
