Quantum phase transitions and topological phases constitute a vibrant domain within condensed matter physics. Unlike classical transitions driven by thermal fluctuations, quantum phase transitions ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

A new study reveals that highly disordered indium oxide superconductors undergo a first-order quantum phase transition — a sudden shift from a superconducting to an insulating state. This finding is ...

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 ...

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 ...

Both a wildfire and activity of digital “neurons” exhibit a phase transition from an active to an absorbing phase. Once a system reaches an absorbing phase, it cannot escape from it without outside ...

An international collaboration between four senior scientists from Mainz, Valencia, Madrid, and Zurich has published groundbreaking research in the journal PNAS, shedding light on the most significant ...

Researchers from the University of Tokyo in collaboration with Aisin Corporation have demonstrated that universal scaling laws, which describe how the properties of a system change with size and scale ...
