Daraio herself described them as really a "new class of matter" and said that they can take the form of squishy or metal ...

Based on the interlocking structure of chainmail, this material has all the best parts of both solids and liquids.

This chanmail-like material can morph and adapt like fluids or solids.

Caltech researchers have developed PAMs, a novel material that blends the properties of solids and liquids, making them ...

Students are introduced to the idea that matter is composed of atoms and molecules that are ... molecules as they experiment with and observe the heating and cooling of a solid, liquid, and gas.

Discovering a new class of matter in the lab of Chiara Daraio at Caltech, researchers have identified a type of material that uniquely responds to stress, behaving like a fluid under some conditions ...

It turns out that any material, no matter what it is made of, can exist in one of three forms: solid, liquid or gas. These are categories of stuff that have certain observable properties.

Experiments have yielded a fascinating new type of matter, neither granular nor crystalline, that responds to some stresses as a fluid would and to others like a solid. The new material, known as PAM ...

Everything that has mass is matter. In normal everyday life we come across matter in three states, solid, liquid and gas. They have a fixed shape and cannot flow The particles cannot move from ...
