In a new study, an international team of researchers created phase diagrams for organic solar cells based on a composite of a ...

Unexpected “re-entrant” phase behavior in polymer-based solar composites could unlock better efficiency and stability—if ...

When water freezes into ice or boils into vapor, its properties change dramatically at specific temperatures. These so-called phase transitions are fundamental to understanding materials. But how ...

Excitonic insulators represent an exotic quantum phase whereby strong Coulomb interactions in materials with narrow bandgaps or semimetallic overlaps produce the spontaneous formation of bound ...

This study achieved the controllable generation of the Z phase in P2-type layered oxides through the Al substitution strategy, revealing the mechanism by which flexible Al-O bonds suppress ...

Phase transitions, like water freezing into ice, are a familiar part of our world. But in quantum systems, they can behave even more dramatically, with quantum properties such as Heisenberg ...
