We are living in a world surrounded by liquid and flow, and understanding the principles that govern its movement is vital in our high-tech world. Through mathematical modeling and experimentation, ...

A study finds chiral structures, with mirror-image configurations, can emerge from nonchiral systems, suggesting new ways to engineer these materials. Hold your hands out in front of you, and no ...

For more than a century, schoolbook physics has divided matter into neat categories like solid, liquid, gas, and plasma. A ...

MIT engineers observed that a liquid crystal’s orderly microstructures will spontaneously assemble into large, twisted structures (pictured) when the liquid is made to slowly flow. Image Credit: ...
