When water freezes into ice or boils into vapor, its properties change dramatically at specific temperatures. These so-called ...

Phase transitions, like water freezing into ice, are a familiar part of our world. But in quantum systems, they can behave ...

Quantum systems don’t just transition between phases—they do so in ways that defy classical intuition. A new experiment has ...

The video explains the unique properties of water (H2O) compared to other substances like benzene, particularly focusing on density, expansion, and contraction with temperature changes. Ice floats on ...

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 ...
