Scientists have found that on Titan, substances that should remain separate can actually combine under freezing conditions. NASA and Chalmers University researchers discovered that hydrogen cyanide ...

For decades, chemistry students have learned a simple truth: polar and nonpolar substances don’t mix. Water and oil stay ...

Talks at the APS are very hit and miss — especially for someone like me who wants a gentle introduction to a field rather than a full-on blitz of data and equations. However, some talks are pure ...

Some substances that don't mix on Earth can combine in ultra freezing conditions like those on Saturn's largest moon, ...

A discovery about Saturn's moon Titan has challenged what scientists thought was a basic rule of chemistry. There, in the ...

Scientists at JILA, a joint institute of the National Institute of Standards and Technology and the University of Colorado at Boulder, have applied their expertise in ultracold atoms and lasers to ...

Bose-Einstein condensates (BECs) are fascinating states of matter that emerge when atoms or molecules are cooled to extremely ...

Scientists at JILA, a joint institute of the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST)and the University of Colorado at Boulder (CU-Boulder), have applied their expertise in ultracold ...

The first stable quantum gas of molecules with large electric dipole moments has been made by physicists in the US. Unlike other quantum gases, the molecules interact with each other over relatively ...
