Excerpt from Overviews and Justifications for Low Gravity Experiments on Phase Transition and Critical Phenomena in Fluids

The diverse physical systems with critical points have a number of experimental properties in common near their respective critical points. They all exhibit a specific heat anomaly, long thermal relaxation times, a marked sensitivity to external fields and impurities, and the quality which is disappearing shows large long - lived fluctuations The density fluctuations in a pure fluid are responsible for the striking visual effects called critical opalescence. Analogous fluctuations in solid systems manifest themselves in ways such as enhanced neutron scattering, ultrasonic attenuation, and electrical resistivity.
