World's Smallest Liquid Droplets Ever Made in the Lab, Experiment Suggests

"According to the scientists' calculations, these short-lived droplets are the size of three to five protons. To provide a sense of scale, that is about one-100,000th the size of a hydrogen atom or one-100,000,000th the size of a virus."

To understand how this is even possible, the definition for "liquid" in chemical terms is: "definite form; indefinite shape". So it occupies shapes, like what happens when you pour water into a glass, but it doesn't separate from itself like gasses do.
