The study of nonequilibrium phase transitions encompasses the investigation of abrupt changes in a system’s collective behaviour when driven far from thermal equilibrium. Unlike classical equilibrium ...

When water freezes into ice or boils into vapor, its properties change dramatically at specific temperatures. These so-called phase transitions are fundamental to understanding materials. But how do ...

Lattice gas models provide a discrete framework for investigating phase transitions in statistical physics, where particles occupy the nodes of a lattice and interact according to specified rules.

Researchers have achieved a remarkable result: capturing and studying phase changes in quantum hardware, which hold hold promise for next-generation technologies like quantum computing and ...

Physicists with the U.S. Department of Energy have discovered a new phase of matter—and, with apologies to George R. R. Martin, it's something of "a song of ice and fire." The new phase comes in the ...

Phase transitions, like water freezing into ice, are a familiar part of our world. But in quantum systems, they can behave even more dramatically, with quantum properties such as Heisenberg ...

Scientists present new insights into the complex nature of phase transitions in magnetic nanomaterials. Their findings pave the way for ultra-sensitive sensors. (Nanowerk News) When water freezes into ...
