Modern civilization relies on water's incompressibility--it's something we take for granted. Hydraulic systems harness the virtual non-compressibility of fluids like water or oil to multiply ...
What happens when you compress water in a nano-sized space? According to Georgia Tech physicists, water starts to behave like a solid. "The confined water film behaves like a solid in the vertical ...
Researchers have achieved the notoriously difficult task of squashing a liquid, using a technique that allows water to be compressed by up to 20 times more than is normally possible. Liquids typically ...
