A supercritical fluid refers to a state in which the temperature and pressure of a substance exceed its critical point, where no distinction exists between liquid and gas phases. Traditionally, it has ...

Researchers have built on past studies and introduced new methods to explore the nature and role of subsurface fluids, including water, in the instances and behaviors of earthquakes and volcanoes.

Supercritical fluids are crucial to understand giant planets such as Jupiter and Neptune, where similar states of matter may reign. A study now published in Nature Communications brings remarkable ...

A research team lays down the foundation for the expansion of supercritical fluid applications research. A long-lasting non-equilibrium phase coexistence in supercritical fluids has been observed by a ...

Supercritical fluids occupy a unique region of the pressure–temperature phase space beyond the critical point, where distinctions between liquid and gas vanish and novel collective behaviours emerge.

Using steam to produce electricity or perform work via steam turbines has been a thing for a very long time. Today it is still exceedingly common to use steam in this manner, with said steam generated ...

Supercritical water is fundamental in many fields of applications and a precise characterization of the supercritical state is of uttermost importance for this liquid. In a fluid, when moving from the ...
