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.

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 ...

Neither gas nor liquid, supercritical fluids exhibit a unique mashup of the properties of both and arise when fluids are pushed to very high temperatures and pressures. Their properties make them ...

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, which exist above their critical temperature and pressure, exhibit unique thermophysical properties that combine liquid-like densities with gas-like diffusivities. Close to the ...

Supercritical fluid processing harnesses the unique properties of fluids at temperatures and pressures above their critical points to produce nanoparticles with precise control over size, morphology ...

High-performance liquid chromatography and gas chromatography are tried and true analytical chemistry techniques. However, an underappreciated forerunner, supercritical fluid chromatography (SFC), is ...
