Unlike in ice, these bonds are broken and re-formed on average 1 trillion times per second in liquid water, so that the water molecules can be packed closer together and move very quickly.

The top image illustrates the 3D framework of the structure housing the liquid crystal molecules, shown in blue and green. The bottom sequence details the transition from random orientation (left) to ...

A new geometrical analysis shows that there is some order in the disorderly arrangements of the molecules of a liquid. The method may lead to a general theory of the liquid state By J. D. Bernal ...

Water molecules freeze in a hexagonal pattern and the molecules are further apart than they were as liquid water. Water is unusual because its molecules move further apart when it freezes. The ...

The hydrogen bonds that form water molecules are responsible for the many properties that make water a unique liquid. However ...

An LCD consists of several layers, including two polarizing filters with perpendicular axes, a layer of liquid crystal molecules, and electrodes that apply the necessary electric field to the crystals ...

In addition, the researchers revealed the mechanism by which this cyclic molecule captures phosphate in harmony with water molecules. This investigation helps elucidate the interaction between ...

"This research will significantly benefit the application of nucleic acids and other molecules susceptible to hydrolysis." More information: Byunghwa Kang et al, Ionic liquid-caged nucleic acids ...
