How are real-time monitoring technologies, including electromagnetic sensors and high-speed X-ray diffraction, transforming heat treatment?

A team at the University of Tokyo has described in unprecedented detail the rare phenomenon of liquid-to-liquid phase transitions in a pure substance. By showing how a liquid made of just one type ...

Scientists discovered a new type of structural phase transition of an organic crystal called the photo-triggered phase transition. Under this phenomenon, the crystal, which exhibits a thermal ...

This paper explores Gibbs measures and phase transitions in sparse random graphs, providing insights into their mathematical properties and applications.

In a paper recently published in Physical Review Letters, Los Alamos National Laboratory researchers offer a new theory that predicts defect density across a variety of phase transitions. The ...

It marks an important first step towards obtaining the low-temperature phase diagram of the FHM and understanding the role of quantum magnetism in the mechanism of high-temperature superconductivity.

Researchers have identified a quantum phase transition taking place in iron more than 1000 kilometres deep within the Earth’s mantle. This transition, known as a spin crossover, also occurs in ...

Physicists have discovered a room-temperature transition between 1D and 2D electrical conduction states in the topological insulator bismuth iodide.

In a new study, scientists have shown for the first time that even without additional corrections, the standard GAFF interatomic interaction potential can reproduce an isotropic-nematic phase ...

New research conducted at the University of Chicago has confirmed a decades-old theory describing the dynamics of continuous phase transitions. The findings, published in the Nov. 4 issue of Science, ...
