The crystalline-liquid state as a general property of matter

Abstract
In my previous studies, published in 1905-1908 in Russian and German, I showed that any substance, both of simple and complex chemical composition, can be obtained: in well-formed clear crystals; in an “irreversible” colloidal state (in the form of sols and “irreversible” colloidal-amorphous sediments); in a “reversible” colloidal state (by rapid cooling and increasing the association of dissolved particles into the solution).
