Scientists at CNRS-affiliated laboratories(1) in Bordeaux, Lyon and Paris have provided the first proof that amorphous materials, also known as soft glasses, deform and flow through a collective movement of their particles. These materials (which include chocolate mousse, shaving cream, mayonnaise, metallic glasses, granular materials and mud) are amorphous solids, in other words, they are resistant like solids but, like liquids, lack a crystalline structure. This discovery, published in the journal Nature, should make it possible to better understand deformation and fracturing in metallic glasses(2) and the spreading of thin layers of fragile materials (such as face creams) used in the cosmetics, food-processing and lubrication industries.

Do molecules of matter move in solids?
no
What does phagocytosis move?
It Moves solids
Can solid flow?
Solids donot flow but as a whole they can move as spherical balls move on a surface and planets move arround the sun.
Why can objects move through liquids but not solids?
Solids are rigid and have no intermolecular space between them. that's why.
Why is kinetic energy of liquids more than solids?
The kinetic energy in liquids is greater than that in solids because the molecules in solids are more closely packed together than in liquids such that liquids can freely move about within the containing vessel.
Can solids move?
solid particles cannot move.

What are the major difference between a gas and solids or liquids?
solids - tightly packed and unable to move liquids- tightly packed but able move gases- spread out and able to move
The particals in what move back and forth?
solids

Does sound move fastest through solids liquids or gas?
solids becuase it is to cool to be toched
What can a solid do that has plasticity?
Hi. Some solids are malleable, such as gold, and move quite readily. Some solids, such as diamond, do not move very much at all.
Why convection currents can be set up in liquids and gases but not in solids?
Matter doesn't move easily in solids.
What move back and forth in place in particles?
solids
The particles in what move back and forth in place?
solids
