Yale physicist Helen Caines has arrived at a key juncture in her long campaign to understand the “critical point” and the “strong force” of nuclear matter. In the subatomic realm, the universe’s ...

Researchers in the US and Italy have identified a second critical point in two realistic theoretical models of water. This finding, which draws on state-of-the-art computational methods and supports a ...

All the Latest Game Footage and Images from Critical Point “Critical Point” is a sci-fi strategy game. As the leader of the “Devourer” spaceship, you must not only solve the ship’s energy crisis by ...

In this webinar, we will discuss the technique of critical point drying for the preparation of biological and materials science samples for electron microscopy. As hydrated samples cannot generally be ...

Figure 2: Diagram of a conventional quantum phase transition in Kondo lattices. At the locally critical point, the zero-temperature dynamical spin susceptibility has an anomalous frequency dependence ...

In a renewed attempt at a grand unified theory of brain function, physicists now argue that brains optimize performance by staying near — though not exactly at — the critical point between two phases.

Over the last few decades, an idea called the critical brain hypothesis has been helping neuroscientists understand how the human brain operates as an information-processing powerhouse. It posits that ...
