A new computational method for predicting the properties of a wide range of materials has been created by researchers in the US. The algorithm is based on the principles of statistical physics, which ...

Temperature is a statistical concept. Very small systems, consisting of a small number of particles, are not usually described statistically. Scientists have now measured how quantum systems reach a ...

Sebastian Mizera just joined the physics department as an assistant professor, researching quantum field theory.

An important part of the decades-old assumption thought to be essential for quantum statistical physics is being challenged by researchers at Rutgers University and colleagues in Germany and Italy.

This is a preview. Log in through your library . Abstract The moments and probability distribution of the lifetime of a configuration state relative to m disjoint regions in Rd for particles under ...

The behaviour of liquids at an interface is an important physical problem with wide-ranging fundamental and practical implications. For example, the behaviour of a liquid squeezed between two surfaces ...

Hints that dark matter might be destroying itself have flickered through astronomical data for more than a decade, but a new ...

It’s a fairly silent night as the Large Hadron Collider shuts down for the holidays. Particle physicists at CERN today presented the first results since the LHC was switched back on for its second run ...
