This is great. I did some undergrad work in phase-transitions, and they are full of surprises. I mainly worked on transitions in crystal latices, which are solid-solid transitions like graphite and diamond, but did some conductive-superconductive transition modeling too, which is another sort of transition altogether.
I have to wonder what other subtle transitions are out there that we miss. My prof was trying to work on transitions that take place in forest fires, but the sheer number of variables made it very difficult. I just spent some time on Lake Superior. Water is mystery.
