Cutting-edge experiments reveal ‘hidden’ details in transforming material with implications for faster microelectronics

Phase changes are central to the world around us. Probably the most familiar example is when ice melts into water or water boils into steam, but phase changes also underlie heating systems and even digital memory, such as that used in smartphones. Phase changes are central to the world around us.
