Phase transitions describe various phenomena around us, from water turning into ice to magnetic transitions to the superconducting transition where electrical resistance vanishes. In the cases of ...
The condensation of excitons with non-zero momentum can give rise to so-called charge density waves (CDW). This phenomenon can prompt the transition of materials into a fascinating new quantum phase, ...
A group has discovered a never-before-seen form of ruthenium phosphide with an unusual configuration of atoms and electrons in its cooled state. This may resolve the puzzle of how a metal can be a ...
During state transitions, plants regulate energy distribution between photosystems I and II through reversible phosphorylation and lateral migration of the major light-harvesting complex LHCII.
After pledging to stop funding coal-powered power plants last year, the ADB is developing a framework to speed up the region’s green transition. In 2021, the Asian Development Bank (ADB) announced it ...
Griffith Asia Institute have partnered with Green Finance & Development Center, Climate Smart Ventures and Pakistan-China Institute to release a policy brief proposing a mechanism for a just and ...
The Kibble-Zurek (KZ) mechanism, confirmed experimentally only for equilibrium phase transitions, is also applicable for non-equilibrium phase transitions, as is now shown in a landmark study. The KZ ...
