(Phys.org)—It was an interesting week for physics as Popper's experiment was realized again, by a different team this time, using a different approach, causing physicists to wonder what it actually means because the results ...
In a classical second-order phase transition, condensed matter systems acquire long-range order upon cooling below the transition temperature, and the properties near the transition are driven by thermal fluctuations. These ...
