Water’s Hidden Switch: How Ferroelectricity May Trigger Its Mysterious Phase Transitions

Water behaves in strangely unique ways—even under everyday conditions—and scientists have long sought the origins of its anomalies. A new study lead by SoftComp partner Ca’ Foscari University of Venice reveals a surprising... (Read more)

Capillary Waves Found Between Fully Miscible Fluids

Capillary waves—tiny ripples normally seen only at the sharp boundary between liquids that do not mix—have now been observed between liquids that do mix completely. Using microfluidic experiments, researchers around SoftComp partner CNRS-Montpellier... (Read more)
