We have one life in the solid material world that is most perfectly measured by science.
We actually got a Guinness Book of World Records for developing this lightest solid material in the world.
Turning a solid material like coal into a liquid it sounds hard to do, and it is hard to do.
To make such planets, a star needs solid material pieces of rock interspersed with iron that can collide and stick together and not just gas.
Turkey exports iron to Iran for use in the country's construction industry (a solid material vital for construction in a nation prone to earthquakes).
BBC: Iran currency plunge bites into border trade with Turkey
Both, the housing and the potentiometer control as well as the rotary switch for selecting the source are made of anodised aluminium, while the front panel of the housing and the controls are milled from solid material.

Proficient means students have a solid grasp of the material.
They've shown that a synthetically grown sample of herbertsmithite crystal (what you see above) behaves as a quantum spin liquid: a material where fractional quantum states produce a liquid-like flux in magnetic orientations, even if the material is solid.

Colloidal suspensions contain particles of one material (a solid or a liquid) dispersed in another (which can be solid, liquid or gaseous).
ECONOMIST: A new way to build complicated materials, micron by micron
The rest of the vertical column is made from a material called syntactic foam - a solid made mostly of hollow "microballoons" - giving it enough buoyancy to float back up.
That 3-D data then got plugged into a solid-modeling program where engineering parameters such as material, thickness and structure were assigned to the shape.
The technology works by building up layer upon layer of material - typically plastic - to build complex solid objects.
Some are distinguished by design or material, such as the nearly two pounds of solid gold that King Philip II of Spain attached to his profession of fealty to Pope Paul IV in 1555.

They did this by putting pieces of silicon or one of a number of other solid materials inside a shoe-box-sized cavity and zapping the material with microwaves from a metal tip.
In 1931 American chemical engineer Samuel Kistler invented the lightest known solid--an aerogel--by drying a form of silicon dioxide (a raw material for glass) under intense pressure and high temperature.
