A team of theoretical researchers has found duality can unveil non-invertible symmetry protected topological phases, which ...

Physicists have observed a strange new quantum phase in a graphene-based system, where a superfluid appears to freeze into a solid-like state. Cooling usually pushes matter through a simple sequence.

Photoinduced phase transitions represent a rapidly evolving field wherein ultrafast optical pulses or terahertz radiation drive materials far from equilibrium, revealing new emergent states that are ...

Physicists with the U.S. Department of Energy have discovered a new phase of matter—and, with apologies to George R. R. Martin, it's something of "a song of ice and fire." The duo from the Brookhaven ...

Modulation of topological phase transition has been pursued by researchers in both condensed matter and optics research fields, and has been realized in Euclidean systems, such as topological photonic ...

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 ...

Ordinary matter, when cooled, transitions from a gas into a liquid. Cool it further still, and it freezes into a solid.

Statistical mechanics offers a foundational framework for translating the vast complexities of microscopic interactions into comprehensible macroscopic phenomena, such as phase transitions and ...

We study the triangular plaquette model (TPM, also known as the Newman-Moore model) in the presence of a transverse magnetic field on a lattice with periodic boundaries in both spatial dimensions. We ...
