Critical Hit

[dakyon]

Unlike classical physics, quantum physics reveals astonishing and fascinating new phenomena. For example, atomic particles still move about at absolute zero - a consequence of Heisenberg’s Uncertainty principle. These quantum fluctuations can result in transformations between different material states. If these phase transitions occur at absolute zero they are referred to as quantum-critical points, the study of which has delivered many surprising new findings in recent years.

Way cool. Classically, absolute zero implies that the material state of a substance would be static and uniform, but quantum fluctuations say otherwise.
