	Phase Definitions Calendar
		A phase of matter is a physically distinctive form of a substance, such as the solid, liquid, and gaseous states of ordinary matter.
		A lunar phase is the appearance of the Moon as viewed from the Earth.
		It is common to speak of inverting the polarity of a wave as "flipping the phase" or "shifting the phase by 180 degrees".

	Bambooweb: Phase (matter)
		Phases are sometimes called states of matter, but this term can lead to confusion with thermodynamic states.
		Phases are emergent phenomena produced by the self-organization of a macroscopic number of particles.
		For example, it is impossible for the solid-liquid phase boundary to end in a critical point in the same way as the liquid-gas boundary, because the solid and liquid phases have different symmetry.

		In contrast, in the plasma phase the atoms are dissociated, i.e.
		These phases are of great interest to astrophysics, because these high-pressure conditions are believed to take place inside stars that have used up their nuclear fusion "fuel", such as white dwarfs and neutron stars.
		This new phase which has some properties that are similar to a liquid and some properties that are similar to a gas is call a supercritical fluid.

		A phase of matter is a physically distinctive form of a substance, such as the solid, liquid, and gaseous phases of ordinary matter.
		The term phase is used in small group communication, conflict, and negotiation to refer to segments during which the types of communication that occur remain approximately similar throughout, but clearly distinct from the types that occur during other phases.

	Matter: States of Matter
		Phase transitions occur at very precise points, when the energy (measured as temperature) of a substance in a given state exceeds that allowed in the state.
		Thus, no matter how high the flame is on the stove, a pot of boiling water will remain at 100ºC until all of the water has undergone transition to the gas phase.
		At 100ºC, water begins to undergo a phase transition and the temperature remains constant even as energy is added (the flat part of the graph).

	Phase
		Its use for the phases of the moon, which repeat in a regular sequence, gave rise to its use for the time sequence of a signal, particularly a sinusoidal signal, where the phase is represented as an angle that steadily increases with time.
		The result is a two-dimensional phase diagram, as for a single substance, where the coordinates are the temperature T and the concentration c.
		A schematic phase diagram for a system in which the constituents are completely miscible in both the liquid and the solid phases is shown at the left.

		In the physical sciences, a phase is a set of states of a macroscopic physical system that have relatively uniform chemical composition and physical properties (i....
		Familiar examples of phase transitions are melting (solid to liquid), freezing (liquid to solid), boiling (liquid to gas), and condensation (gas to liquid.) Due to this non-analyticity, the free energies on either side of the transition are two different functions, so one or more thermodynamic properties will behave very differently after the transition.
		In practice, each type of phase is distinguished by a handful of relevant thermodynamic properties, out of all the possible properties one could imagine.

	Phase (matter) - Psychology Central (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Even though the concept of phases is widely-used in the physical sciences, it is not easy to define precisely.
		In order to understand the general definition, it is useful to consider two common examples of phase phenomena: firstly, the ordinary solid, liquid, and gas phases of matter; secondly, the paramagnetic and ferromagnetic phases of magnetic materials.
		The appearance of magnetic domains is a phase transition, and the new phase is known as a ferromagnet.

	Diversity of Matter
		Special properties are those properties that are special for each kind of matter, they enable us to tell one kind of matter from another and they also determine the uses of each kind.
		A phase change in which a solid goes directly to being a gas instead of melting to form a liquid.
		We have reviewed phases of matter, which is one way to sort or classify matter.

	Phase Transitions
		The liquid phase of water is rotationally symmetric, that is, it looks the same around each point regardless of the direction in which we look.
		Phase transitions can have a wide variety of important implications including the formation of topological defects -cosmic strings, domain walls, monopoles and textures - that will be discribed in more detail in the following pages, or it may even trigger a period of exponential expansion (inflation).
		First-order phase transitions (illustrated below) occur through the formation of bubbles of the new phase in the middle of the old phase; these bubbles then expand and collide until the old phase disappears completely and the phase transition is complete.

		We've already told you that chemistry is the study of matter and how it changes and interacts with other matter.
		One compound or element can move from phase to phase, but still be the same substance.
		That isn't changing from one phase to another, it is changing the basic chemical structure of the compound.

	[No title]
		Over the past few decades an understanding has developed that the collective properties of the many strongly interacting particles comprising condensed matter systems are by no means a simple consequence of the basic laws of interactions between them, so that exotic new phenomena, such as new phases of matter, continue to be discovered.
		Their phases and phase transitions become linked together in phenomena that indicate the beginning of the formation of the bulk interface as the film grows thicker.
		Phase transitions and critical phenomena in condensed matter systems have been an extraordinarily active area of research for the past 25 years.

	Static Phase Converters - U.S. Phase Converter Standards Organization
		Static Phase Converters generate a 3rd phase for only a matter of seconds during startup of electric motors, then it will drop out forcing the motor to continue to run on just 1 phase and only part of its windings.
		For the few motors that a Static Phase Converter will start, they are only able to run on part of the windings at 2/3 power and thus may also burn out if put under their full rated load.
		There is a tendency for these "Static Phase Converter" controlled units to burn out the equipment it is meant to operate due to phase imbalances that change with the load.

	High density quark matter and color superconductivity
		In principle we should be able to calculate the behavior of matter under such conditions, using the the theory that describes the strong nuclear force, which is the dominant interaction at ultra-high density.
		Compact stars are in this region of the phase diagram, although it is not known whether their cores are dense enough to reach the quark matter phase.
		So we know what phase is favored in the limit of infinite density, but the nature of the pairing in quark matter at realistic neutron-star densities is still a vigorously debated question.

	Dr Wolf
		As with Mind into Matter, Matter into Feeling is divided into nine chapters, each framed by the nine letter-symbols of the Hebrew alphabet, or "aleph-bayt." In Mind into Matter we dealt with the archetypes spirit, represented by aleph (a, 1), through structure, represented by tayt (f, 9).
		Matter into Feeling, then, looks at the continual movement of the nine mental/material seed archetypes into living symbols, literally a transformation of matter-already embodying mind-into life, the feeling and awareness of matter.
		To make the leap, to realize the remaining phases, requires understanding that the "stuck" life is only a phase, much like a child throwing a tantrum is merely "going through a phase." The movement of matter into feeling is the second phase.
