🔬 New from Thermopedia: Supercritical Fluids and New Phase Diagrams reexamines one of science's most foundational tools, the Gibbs phase diagram, proposing its first major extension in 150 years, complete with a newly discovered thermodynamic state and a redefined map of matter at extreme conditions.
Authored by Raad Shahmat Haque (University of North Texas), Laura M. Almara (Texas State University), Guo-Xiang Wang (University of Akron / Xi'an Jiaotong University), and Vish Prasad (University of North Texas), this work identifies three supercritical pseudo-phases: gas-like, liquid-like, and solid-like. It also introduces the "Dwij Point," a newly discovered state analogous to the triple point, beyond which only gas and solid phases exist.
