Time Crystals: “Back to Basics” Approach Helps Unravel New Phase of Matter
A new phase of matter, thought to be understandable only using quantum physics, can be studied with far simpler classical methods. Researchers from the University…
Physicists Pinpoint Solid-State Triple Point in Vanadium Dioxide
In a newly published study, University of Washington researchers detail the first-ever accurate determination of a solid-state triple point in vanadium dioxide. It is well…
Researchers Discover a New Form of Liquid
Scientists have discovered that “supercooled” water transforms into a new form of liquid, a “liquid-liquid” phase transition that is important for understanding basic processes during…
Researchers Show Imaging of Non-Reflection Domain Wall Structures
Researchers from the U.S. Department of Energy Office of Science’s Advanced Photon Source (APS) and the High Pressure Synergetic Consortium (HPSynC) show the first imaging…
MIT Physicists Study Superfluid to Better Understand Neutron Stars
MIT physicists are studying phase transition to gain a better understanding of superconductivity of electrons in metals. By examining how a gas turns into a…
