A liquid lacks both the strong spatial order of a solid, though it can have the high density of solids (a liquid has volume but doesn't have shape) and the absence of total disorder of a gas that results from the low density of gases i.e., gas molecules are relatively free of each other’s influence...

Is an Antimatter Bomb Viable? The Science Behind It
To many people, antimatter probably sounds a lot stranger than it really is. before to answer the question in the headline let me quickly say what antimatter is and does. In it's most basic sense, antimatter is just matter with its electrical charge reversed. When antimatter comes into contact with matter, the result is: annihilation. Then... Continue Reading →
What is Antimatter? Exploring Its Mysteries and Significance
Antimatter is not the stuff you interact with, the same as you do with matter. It was for long time and still is a hot topic for science fiction stories. However this stuff is experimantally confirmed to be real and it definitely worth to learn more about it. So what is it?. I will try... Continue Reading →
Did Antimatter Cause the Tunguska Disaster?
In the universe there is a lot of stuff we know nothing about or we know very little. One of them is the thing called Antimatter. We only discovered its existence almost a century ago. Today we know it is there, but more than some basic characteristic properties just enough to have a clue about it,... Continue Reading →
THE 3rd STATE OF MATTER – What is an Ideal Gas?
Gas is the 3rd state of matter which has nor fixed shape neither a fixed volume. However gases are essential for many applications. In order to study, understand and keep a gas under control, we need to have a good study reference as starting point. And we do have that. The behavior or gases is... Continue Reading →
THE 3rd STATE OF MATTER – The 4 Laws of Ideal Gas
Gas is the state of matter with no fixed shape and volume. That means the particle in a gas aren’t particularly attached to one another being in a constant state of motion either inside of their container or as dispersed in space. However the behavior of matter in gaseous state is strongly influenced by at... Continue Reading →
THE 3rd STATE OF MATTER – GAS
Gases are all around us but most of the time we don't give them much thought. However, along with solids and liquids, gases are one of the main states of matter and the way they behave is vital for life on Earth. For example, when we breathe in, we increase the volume of our lungs,... Continue Reading →
THE 2nd STATE OF MATTER – LIQUID
We usually use the terms liquid and fluid interchangeably in general to refer to a substance which is in a liquid state, such as water. However, there is a stark difference in both terms. In physics, the term fluid refers to any liquid, gas or other material that continuously changes its shape and form under... Continue Reading →
WHAT ARE THE METALLIC SOLIDS?
In this article Iet's talk about the most common type of solids: THE METALLIC SOLIDS. These are the ones which we use on daily basis. Just look around you and you'll notice that most man-made objects are either made of a metals or at least contain 1 metallic component. For example, your watch has metal... Continue Reading →
WHAT ARE THE MOLECULAR SOLIDS?
During the wintertime when it snows, if you are like most school kids, you get pretty excited about snowy days. On your day off, you might go outside and play in the snow as you watch the snowflakes fall. When a snowflake lands on your gloved hands, you can see the shape of the snowflake... Continue Reading →
