Liquid

Scientists at Yale University have discovered that if liquid droplets are just the right size, they can actually make a solid material stiffer when added to it. Their findings could pave the way for composite materials that use liquids for added functionality, yet that don't compromise strength.

IceLiners could be the perfect solution to creating ice-cold cocktails which stay almost-frozen for as long as it takes to drink them. IceLiners is simple, comprising a silicone mold used to line a glass with frozen water, fruit juice, or mixer suitable for consuming with your favorite cocktail.

Measuring liquids in the kitchen while cooking can quite easily spiral into spill-covered bench tops and a sink full of dishes. According to John Wegner, this can all be avoided using his Liquidy-Split bottle, a container for storing liquids with a built-in dial for measuring different quantities.

Scientists have used tiny spheres coated in a water-repellent coating to get water to boil without bubbles.

The INSIGHT100 airport security scanner is able to identify the liquid contents of various containers.

Scientists have determined the structure of the highly-absorbent mineral used in cat litter, and may now be able to produce a synthetic version that could be used in many other applications.

Arzum's Termotwin is an ingenious double-container vacuum flask that keeps liquids at the same temperature for up to four hours.

When the all-new Ford Focus Electric debuts later this year in the U.S. it will be powered by a lithium-ion battery system that will use cooled and heated liquid to regulate battery temperature.

By creating specific kinds of tiny structures on a material’s surface researchers can make a liquid spread only in a single direction.

Nanopool has developed a glass coating that can be sprayed on to almost any surface.

Yuki Yamamoto's light, sound and movement project sees a thin layer of liquid sit above a loudspeaker, when the music starts the liquid jumps to the beat and the light throws out a beat-driven light show

Researchers Denghui Xu and Chihaya Adachi have developed a peculiar liquid semiconductor layer that could solve durability problems in today's OLED technology.
