A trio of physicists at Sorbonne Université, in France, has observed a thermoelectric effect between two liquid materials for the first time. In their study, published in Proceedings of the National ...

The study of electroconvection and flexoelectric effects in nematic liquid crystals offers a window into the complex interplay between electric forces and molecular order in soft condensed matter.

Dash a few drops of water onto a very hot, sizzling skillet and they’ll levitate, sliding around the pan with wild abandon. Physicists at Virginia Tech have discovered that this can also be achieved ...
