"All of this makes phase transitions interesting. They involve violence, universal truths and competition between rival states. The story of phase transitions is, quite literally, the song of fire and ice."

Since we're having a fresh start over here on #ScienceMastodon, I want to share a few things I made a while back with the new audience.

Let's start with my beginner's guide to #RenormalisationGroup (or #RenormalizationGroup for the American audience!).

This is a really powerful method in #TheoreticalPhysics and #CondensedMatter is particular. It's used to detect #PhaseTransitions and understand the universal properties of #ComplexSystems. Here's how it works: https://www.steventhomson.co.uk/post/rg_guide

Some simplified pictures of physics turn out to be quite effective.

"Here’s the story of how a toy model of magnetism demystified phase transitions, became ubiquitous in science and continues to help push the boundaries of knowledge today."
