F rom useful services that aid my tinkering hobbies to wacky tools that have their own niche purposes, I’ve come across several applications over the course of my home lab journ ...

As the number of particles in a physical system increases, its properties can change and different phase transitions (i.e., shifts into different phases of matter) can take place. Microscopic ...

Phase-change materials are some of the most promising materials for data-storage applications. They are already used in rewriteable optical data storage and offer great potential as an emerging ...

We present phase diagrams of colliding pulse mode locked (CPM) InGaAsP QW laser operation relevant to the ability to synchronize the repetition rate to an external clock. A three-dimensional parameter ...

Quasi-ternary dextran-water-polyethylene glycol (D-W-PEG) systems can undergo a segregative phase transition from a homogeneous to two-phase state with one phase enriched in dextran, the other in PEG, ...

The Global Magazine of News and IdeasEdward Luce's new biography, Zbig: The Life of Zbigniew Brzezinski, America's Great Power Prophet, details the life of President Jimmy Carter's national ...

Figure 4 a,b shows the two-dimensional solid–solid-liquid quasi-ternary phase diagram and three-dimensional solid–solid–solid–liquid quaternary phase diagram representations of the diagram; assuming ...
