The secret to how steel hardens and shape-memory alloys snap into place lies in rapid, atomic-scale shifts that scientists ...

The challenge is to transition from government-driven momentum to market-led growth, expanding into high-alpha, higher-margin ...

Discover how researchers are using Tamm plasmonic photonic crystals and antimony trisulfide to create reconfigurable color ...

Quantum sensors have become important tools in low-energy particle physics. Michael Doser explores opportunities to exploit their unparalleled precision at higher energies.

Rats exhibit significant recovery of locomotor function following incomplete spinal cord injuries, albeit with altered gait expression and reduced speed and stepping frequency. These changes likely ...

As few as five electrons in a semiconductor can exhibit collective behaviour, forming a “Coulomb liquid”, according to researchers in Europe. This extends the study of correlated systems to electron ...

As the number of particles in a physical system increases, its properties can change and different phase transitions (i.e., shifts into different phases of matter) can take place. Microscopic systems ...

We studied the applicability of three popular classical models for zeolites, which include the effects of flexibility in their ability to reproduce the temperature-dependent orthorhombic-monoclinic ...

Phase-change memory (PCM) is a leading memory technology being explored for IMC. In this perspective, we review the current state of phase-change materials, PCM device physics, and the design and ...

In this letter, we report on the design, fabrication, and measured results of a directly heated phase change RF switch (or via) using germanium telluride in a four-terminal configuration. The switch ...

More Brookhaven National Laboratory In the new study, the researchers have shown that the "forbidden" phase transition can be achieved only at a very narrow range of temperatures.

Explore how captured and studied phase changes reveal important insights into dissipative phase transitions in quantum systems.
