Phase transitions, shifts between different states of matter, are widely explored physical phenomena. So far, these transitions have primarily been studied in three-dimensional (3D) and ...

In their research, Hasenfratz, Catterall, and Butt used renormalization group (RG) theory to study the more complex phase ...

After decades of looking, researchers have seen a string of atoms go through a 1D phase change so elusive that it could only happen inside a quantum simulator. “One motivation [for our experiment] is ...

A new study published in Physical Review Letters explores the possibility that a strongly supercooled, first-order phase transition in the early universe could explain gravitational wave signals ...

Simulation of droplet evaporation shows a distinct split in phase transitions based on the time and energy of heating.
