Physicists have gained a deep insight into the nature of quantum mechanical phase transitions. Scientists have simulated the competition between two rival dynamical processes at a novel type of transition between two quantum mechanical orders. Continue reading

For more than a century, the field of fluid mechanics has posited that turbulence scales with inertia, and so massive things, like planes, have an easier time causing it. Now, new research has shown that this transition to turbulence can occur without … Continue reading

A specific region of the brain is in play when children consider their identity and social status as they transition into adolescence — that often-turbulent time of reaching puberty and entering middle school, says a psychologist. Continue reading

An excess of the brain neurotransmitter glutamate may cause a transition to psychosis in people who are at risk for schizophrenia. The findings suggest a potential diagnostic tool for identifying those at risk for schizophrenia and a possible glutamate… Continue reading

A team of scientists has added markedly to the job description of prions as agents of change, identifying a prion capable of triggering a transition in yeast from its conventional single-celled form to a cooperative, multicellular structure. This change, which appears to improve yeast’s chances for survival in the face of hostile environmental conditions, is an epigenetic phenomenon — a heritable alteration brought about without any change to the organism’s underlying genome. Continue reading

Scientists who famously discovered the lobe-finned fish fossil Tiktaalik roseae, a species with some of the clearest evidence of the evolutionary transition from fish to limbed animals, have described another new species of predatory fossil lobe-finned… Continue reading

A new study from a team of exercise science professors found that runners who transition too quickly to ‘barefoot’ running shoes suffer an increased risk of injury to bones in the foot, including possible stress fractures. Continue reading

Order tends towards disorder. This is also true for quantum states. Measurements show that in quantum mechanics this transition can be quite different from what we experience in our daily lives. Continue reading

It took only a few years for high-definition televisions to make the transition from high-priced novelty to ubiquitous commodity — and they now seem to be heading for obsolescence just as quickly. Several manufacturers have recently debuted new ultrah… Continue reading

Ever wonder why sand can both run through an hourglass like a liquid and be solid enough to support buildings? It’s because granular materials — like sand or dirt — can change their behavior, or state. Researchers have found that the forces individua… Continue reading

A process that normally occurs in developing embryos — the changing of one basic cell type into another — has also been suspected of playing a role in cancer metastasis. Now a study has associated this process, called epithelial-mesenchymal transitio… Continue reading

With his research on quantum states in the realm between order and disorder, one professor’s work has raised quite a stir; ultra cold atom clouds with a high degree of order approach a disordered thermal equilibrium. During this transition they spend s… Continue reading
