Less than a decade ago, researchers found a peculiar phase of matter where the electrons of a particular compound would behave in two very distinct phases. Some had spins that were very well organized ...

What are Phase Change Materials? Materials display different properties in each state of matter (solid, gas, liquid, and plasma) which can be manipulated for a multitude of purposes. A phase change is ...

A team of Harvard researchers working with the quantum computing company Quantinuum announced the creation of a new phase of matter in a research paper last month. Harvard Physics professor Ashvin ...

Quantum physics has always challenged our understanding of reality, but a new breakthrough is pushing the limits even further. Researchers at Washington University in St. Louis have created a new ...

Heating and cooling systems are some of the biggest energy guzzlers in use, so passive temperature control could be a good way to reduce emissions. Phase-change materials (PCMs) show promise for this, ...
