As systems and devices become ever smaller, we're increasingly being forced to reconsider ideas we've relied on for decades. Unsurprisingly, this can be quite an undertaking — and none more so, ...

Exclusion processes constitute a paradigmatic class of models in statistical physics, capturing the collective behaviour of particles that hop on discrete lattices under hard‐core exclusion and ...

Three different papers by three different groups on the same theme back-to-back in Nature? That is unusual. Yes, which is why they caught my eye. The papers all look rather interesting: they are about ...

Physicists in the US have made the first gas that never reaches equilibrium. David Weiss and colleagues at Penn State University performed their experiment with a one-dimensional Bose gas of ultracold ...

Imaginary numbers are a solution to a very real problem, according to a new study published in Scientific Reports. Two physicists at Argonne National Laboratory offered a way to mathematically ...
