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 ...
Under formaldehyde-acetic acid condensationreaction conditions, the V4+ phase (VO)2P2O7 remains stable, while V5⁺ phases ...
The study of black hole thermodynamics has evolved into a vibrant field that explores the deep connections between gravity, quantum mechanics and statistical physics. Black holes, once regarded as ...
Quantum phase transitions describe abrupt changes in the ground state of a quantum system at absolute zero when a control parameter is varied. They are distinguished from classical phase transitions ...
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 ...
The melting of materials seems like a simple phenomenon. However, when their thickness is reduced to just a few atoms, ...
