Prior research has shown that when a superconductor undergoes a phase transition between superconductivity ... monitor the superfluid stiffness of a sample. They found that rather than seeing ...

This process is known as a Phase Transition and the amount of heat energy required to transform unit mass from one phase to the other is known as the Heat of Transformation. The solid to liquid ...

A research team from the University of Coimbra has developed a soft phase change actuator for robots that uses the transition ...

Phase transitions and critical phenomena are the ... A change in the state of matter, such as from a solid to a liquid, is a classic example. People organize in groups and contagions spread ...

In this month's issue, we present our first 'Focus' — a collection of specially commissioned review and opinion pieces — on the topic of quantum phase transitions. The most familiar examples ...

A critical phenomena analysis then concluded that a phase transition, well studied in the physics of magnetic materials, occurred at a critical gene length of 1,500 nucleotides. This marked ...
