Event Information:

Abstract: Condensed matter is the science of stuff you can touch: if you can hold it in your hand, it's a condensed matter system.  Phases of matter and phase transitions are central concepts in condensed matter physics.  Think how important the solid, liquid, and vapor phases of water are to human society.  But there are many more phases of matter and phase transitions than these three!  From the liquid crystal displays of our computer screens, to the foams of bread and shaving cream, the suspension we know as milk, and the granular matter known as peanut butter, phases
