High pressure is an effective tool to study and control such structural changes. However, past studies have reported conflicting results about low-pressure phase transitions in HfO₂, especially ...

Phase-change actuation has been revived for the era of untethered, electrically driven soft robots. Our team at the University of Coimbra have developed a phase transition soft actuator designed to ...

Phase transitions and critical phenomena are the changes of a system from one regime or state to another exhibiting very different properties, and the unusual effects that occur on the boundary ...

Neutron-scattering experiments have revealed a predicted high-pressure phase of ice called ... partial understanding of the nature of the phase transition between ice VII and plastic ice ...

A squishy, layered material that dramatically transforms under pressure could someday help computers store more data with ...

In physics, a phase transition is a transformation of a substance from one form to another. They happen everywhere, from ...
