Mythbusters: Uncovering Truths About Water
… Hydrogen bonds are solid; breaking them takes a lot of time and energy. This accounts for water’s high melting and steam temperatures. This also means that water can simultaneously exist in all three of its aggregate states, which cannot be said about any other substance with a similar structure in Earth’s conditions. Hydrophobic substances (those that have …

ITMO Scientists Develop a Device to Control Light and Matter Quasiparticles
…ssible to not only turn the device on and off, but also regulate two states of exciton-polaritons that correspond to various light wavelengths. The states can be activated simultaneously or independently with varying power. This can be achieved either via a laser beam or by altering the plate’s voltage. We’re also investigating how the states are triggered by voltage…
