Sentences with phrase «undergoing phase transitions»

When certain materials are subjected to changes in external conditions, such as temperature or pressure, they can undergo a phase transition.

In most cases, a type of graphic called a phase diagram helps researchers predict structural and property changes in a material when it undergoes a phase transition.

He and co-author Alexey Galda, a scientist with Argonne and the University of Chicago's James Franck Institute, had been working on ways to describe these systems, particularly those undergoing a phase transition — such as the moment during a thunderstorm when the charge difference between cloud and ground tips too high, and a lightning strike occurs.
