According to his paper published in the journal Physical Review E, the crossword puzzle-solving process resembles a type of phase transition known as percolation—one that seems to be unique ...

Because the ground-state wavefunction undergoes qualitative changes at a quantum phase transition, it is important to understand how its genuine quantum aspects evolve throughout the transition.

A team of physicists at Université Grenoble Alpes, CNRS, in France, working with a colleague from Karlsruhe Institute of Technology, in Germany, has observed an odd quantum phase transition in ...

The study of quantum phase transitions is of crucial importance for revealing the mysteries of quantum many-body systems, as well as for developing novel quantum materials and quantum devices.

Once a phase transition to a solid state is established, the aggregates of mutant p53 comparable to amyloids observed in neurodegenerative diseases are formed, thereby playing a crucial role in ...

Bubbles occurred and a previously unknown phase transition happened, according to particle physicists. Think of bringing a pot of water to the boil: As the temperature reaches the boiling point ...
