  Theory of Atoms in Molecules: What is a Bond?
Associated with each such critical point is a set of trajectories that start at infinity and terminate at the critical point, only two of which appear in the symmetry plane shown in the figure.
The two sets of trajectories associated with such a critical point, a bond critical point, the set that terminates at the critical point and defines the interatomic surface and the pair that originates there and defines the line of maximum density, are shown in Figure 5.
Further separation of the nuclei causes it to bifurcate into a cage critical point yielding a new structure in which the bridgehead carbon atoms are not bonded to one another, the cage structure depicted in c.

  Critical point (thermodynamics) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The critical point in a phase diagram is at the high-temperature extreme of the liquid-gas phase boundary.
Critical variables are useful for rewriting a varied equation of state into one that applies to all materials.
The critical point is described by a conformal field theory.

 Supercritical fluid - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
At the critical point, the densities of the equilibrium liquid phase and the saturated vapor phases become equal, resulting in the formation of a single supercritical phase.
This can be observed in the density-pressure phase diagram for carbon dioxide, as shown in Figure 2, where the critical point is located at 304.1 K and 7.38 MPa (73.8 bar).
In a practical sense, the area of interest in supercritical fluids for processing and separation purposes is limited to temperatures in the vicinity of the critical point, where large gradients in the physical properties are observed.

 What is Physical Chemistry
Physical chemistry is also essential for developing and interpreting the modern techniques used to determine the structure and properties of matter, such as new synthetic materials and biological membranes.
Physical chemistry is the study of the physical basis of phenomena related to the chemical composition and structure of substances.
Physical chemistry is not so much concerned with the description of chemical substances and their reactions-this is the concern of organic and inorganic chemistry-as with theoretical principles and with quantitative problems.

 Critical phenomena Summary
Critical phenomena relates to the physical properties of matter that occur at the phase transition points and specifically at the critical points.
Critical phenomena include scaling relations among different quantities, power-law divergences of some quantities (such as the magnetic susceptibility in the ferromagnetic phase transition) described by critical exponents, universality, fractal behaviour, ergodicity breaking.
The critical behavior is often different from the mean-field approximation which is valid away from the phase transition, since the latter neglects correlations, which become increasingly important as the system approaches the critical point where the correlation length diverges.

 Crystallographic Topology 101 - Overview
Critical nets are based on the concepts of Morse functions, Morse theory (i.e., critical point analysis), and hyperplane arrangements in topological complexes, which are classic topics in the mathematical topology and global analysis literature.
Critical points occur where the first derivative of the global density is zero.
The critical points are best described as representing 0-, 1-, 2-, and 3-dimensional cells in a topological Morse function CW complex (i.e., C for closure finite, W for weak topology).

 C&EN: COVER STORY - GREEN CHEMISTRY
The green chemistry conference, which consisted of invited lectures, contributed posters, and discussion groups, was cosponsored by the American Chemical Society and the Green Chemistry Institute (GCI), which formed an alliance with ACS at the beginning of this year.
The case studies, prepared by chemistry professor Michael C. Cann and undergraduate Marc E. Connelly of the University of Scranton, in Pennsylvania, are based on research that was nominated for or received a Presidential Green Chemistry Challenge Award (CandEN, July 2, page 24).
Another important event that has rallied proponents of green chemistry was the development of the 12 Principles of Green Chemistry by Anastas and chemistry professor John C. Warner of the University of Massachusetts, Boston.

 Crystallographic Topology - Critical Nets 1
The critical net is composed of interconnected "twisted Hs" with pairs of peaks and pits at the ends of the two inclined non-parallel uprights and a pass and a pale at the ends of the connecting horizontal bar, which is the shortest vector between the two non-parallel uprights.
Critical nets always maintain a peak-pass-pale-pit vs. pit-pale-pass-peak duality, that is the naming of the critical point sites can be reversed to produce a new valid Morse function.
The minimum number of critical points possible in a crystallographic unit cell is 8, (i.e., 1,3,3,1) with critical points on the 8 inversion centers of P
