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

New research offers clearer insight into how phase transitions unfold at the atomic scale in real materials. When ice turns into water, the change happens almost instantly. Once the melting ...

Physicists have finally filmed a crystal as it melts and discovered that, under the right conditions, it refuses to behave ...

Metal scrap can now be transformed into high-performance, high-value alloys without traditional melting processes, according to researchers at the Department of Energy’s Pacific Northwest National ...

Solid-phase extraction (SPE) is the gold standard for sample preparation in chromatographic analysis. It is used to capture, clean, and concentrate samples while removing interfering compounds, ...

Scientists have observed transitions into and out of an exotic state of matter found between liquid and solid in 2-D materials (Sci. Rep. 2021, DOI: 10.1038/s41598-020-80082-x). The hexatic phase ...

pH can have a huge effect on any SPE technique and can be utilized to enhance retention of compounds on an SPE product. For instance, the reversed phase technique can be used to adjust pH to ...

Porvair Sciences announced the availability of a new guide that they say is designed to make the selection of the Solid Phase Extraction (SPE) microplate for application both quick and easy. SPE is a ...
