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 ...

The study of phase transitions in magnetic models is central to understanding a wide range of phenomena in condensed matter physics. At the heart of this subject are theoretical frameworks, such as ...

New research offers clearer insight into how phase transitions unfold at the atomic scale in real materials. When ice turns into water, the change happens almost instantly. Once the melting ...

An international collaboration has published groundbreaking research, shedding light on the most significant increase in complexity in the history of life's evolution on Earth: the origin of the ...

In recent years, high-entropy carbide ceramics have received extensive attention and become another research focus in the high entropy materials field, which are also known as multi-component carbide ...

Researchers from the University of Hong Kong studying the structure of electrons in 2D materials have predicted new types of phase transitions that have yet to be seen in experiments Illustration of ...

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 ...
