Explaining Avalanche-Like Phase Changes In Glass
A new research reveals common mechanism for crystallization and aging in glasses.
Hunting For The Structural Origins Of Supercooled Liquids
Despite its current popularity, the point-to-set measurement of static correlation may not be sufficient to explain the mechanics of supercooling, scientists say.
Liquids Not As Uniform As Previously Thought
The identification of nanometer-sized structures formed during liquid-liquid transitions sheds new light on one of the fundamental states of matter.
Changing Magnetic States
Scientists have demonstrated a new type of spin gas-liquid transition in quantum magnets.
Melting From The Outside In
A mathematical model of melting shows that changing from a solid to a liquid state is much more complicated than previously thought.
