In today's energy-intensive environment, designing new devices for more efficient and renewable energy sources is at the ...

which don't have electrical charge and can act as either matter or antimatter. One idea is that about a million years after the Big Bang, the universe cooled and underwent a phase transition, an ...

The seemingly simple process of phase changes—those transitions between states of matter—is more complex than previously known, according to research based at Princeton University, Peking ...

Scientists at Northwestern University have identified components of neurons that match up to materials undergoing a phase shift – a transition from one state of matter, like a liquid ...

Physicists with the U.S. Department of Energy have discovered a new phase of ... control the transitions between those states—are central problems in the fields of condensed matter physics ...

All three used mathematics to explain the the properties of matter in certain states ... a tornado — to explain how a topological phase transition works. A swirling vortex in a thin layer ...

My research interests are thermodynamics and statistical mechanics of condensed matter systems, phase transitions and critical phenomena, Ising model and other spin models, solid-liquid phase ...

provide new insights into how the Bose glass forms and transitions. With this understanding, scientists can begin exploring potential applications for this phase of matter. Despite the promising ...

The new phase combines a number of "up ... as well as advance the ability to identify new states of matter with exotic properties and manipulate the transition between those states.

Ever wonder how the hot soup of subatomic particles that filled the early universe transformed into the ordinary matter of today's world? Nuclear physicists exploring this question can't exactly ...

A comprehensive review explores how particles containing heavy quarks (known as charm and bottom hadrons) interact in a hot, ...
