When cooled to its superconducting state, niobium blocks the radiative flow of heat 20 times better than when in its metallic ...

Heat batteries quietly solve a major transition gap, storing surplus renewable electricity as heat.

The toughness, ductility, and wear resistance of metallic alloys are dictated by the phases present in their microstructure and how these phases are distributed. During heat treatments such as ...

Both a wildfire and activity of digital “neurons” exhibit a phase transition from an active to an absorbing phase. Once a system reaches an absorbing phase, it cannot escape from it without outside ...

Researchers in the Department of Theoretical Physics at Tata Institute of Fundamental Research (TIFR), Mumbai, have discovered that instead of manipulating every component or modifying interactions in ...

University of Texas at Dallas researchers and their collaborators have developed and patented a wood-based material that can ...
