Phase transitions, shifts between different states of matter, are widely explored physical phenomena. So far, these ...

Water is ubiquitous and seemingly ordinary, possessing no distinct color or odor. Though we often take water for granted, it is by no means a simple substance. As a consequence of its chemical ...

Phase transitions are familiar occurrences, such as the freezing of water to ice. When the transition occurs at zero temperature, it is known as a 'quantum phase transition'. As distinct states of ...

Earlier this week we broke down the complexities of mixed-phase precipitation forecasting.Within that we briefly touched on a key component to that complexity w ...

Physicists at the Cavendish Laboratory in Cambridge have successfully produced the first two-dimensional Bose glass, an unusual phase of matter that defies conventional ideas in statistical mechanics.
