superheating in solid phase
11Liquid crystal — Schlieren texture of liquid crystal nematic phase Liquid crystals (LCs) are a state of matter that have properties between those of a conventional liquid and those of a solid crystal.[1] For instance, an LC may flow like a liquid, but its… …
12Boiling point — This article is about the boiling point of liquids. For other uses, see Boiling point (disambiguation). The boiling point of an element or a substance is the temperature at which the vapor pressure of the liquid equals the environmental pressure… …
13Gas — This article is about the physical properties of gas as a state of matter. For the uses of gases, and other meanings, see Gas (disambiguation). Ga …
14Critical point (thermodynamics) — Carbon dioxide creating a fog when cooling from supercritical to critical temperature In physical chemistry, thermodynamics, chemistry and condensed matter physics, a critical point, also called a critical state, specifies the conditions… …
15Cooling curve — A cooling curve of naphthalene from liquid to solid. A cooling curve is a line graph that represents the change of phase of matter, typically from a gas to a solid or a liquid to a solid. The independent variable (X axis) is time and the… …
16Microwave chemistry — is the science of applying microwave irradiation to chemical reactions.[1][2][3][4] Microwaves act as high frequency electric fields and will generally heat any material containing mobile electric charges, such as polar molecules in a solvent or… …
17Plasma (physics) — For other uses, see Plasma. Plasma lamp, illustrating some of the more complex phenomena of a plasma, including filamentation. The colors are a result of relaxation of electrons in excited states to lower energy states after they have recombined… …
18Flux (metallurgy) — Rosin used as flux for soldering A flux pen used f …
19Mpemba effect — The Mpemba effect is the observation that warmer water sometimes freezes faster than colder water. Although the observation has been verified, there is no single scientific explanation for the effect. Contents 1 Historical observations 2 Origin 3 …
20Superheated water — is liquid water under pressure at temperatures between the usual boiling point (100°C) and the critical temperature (374°C). It is also known as subcritical water and pressurised hot water. Superheated water referred to in this article is stable… …
