The melting of materials seems like a simple phenomenon. However, when their thickness is reduced to just a few atoms, ...

When ice melts into water, it happens quickly, with the transition from solid to liquid being immediate. However, very thin materials do not adhere to these rules. Instead, an unusual state between ...

Lattice gas models provide a discrete framework for investigating phase transitions in statistical physics, where particles occupy the nodes of a lattice and interact according to specified rules.

High school science misses a lot of the science researchers actually work with. For example, you learn that there are three states of matter—solid, liquid, and gas—but in advanced physics, things get ...

This schematic illustrates the MALIO software, a machine learning structure analysis tool designed to analyze and distinguish the local structures of BP I and BP II liquid crystal phases. By ...
