Statistical physics of spin systems provides a versatile framework for understanding phase transitions and critical phenomena by modelling collections of interacting discrete variables, or “spins”, ...

What is and is not possible for natural evolution may be explained using models and calculations from theoretical physics, say researchers. To explain this the limits of evolution, researchers ...

I am working in statistical physics, complex systems and condensed matter theory. I am particularly interested in glassy and off-equilibrium physics and slow and collective dynamics.

The rules of statistical physics address the uncertainty about the state of a system that arises when that system interacts with its environment. But they've long missed another kind. In a new paper, ...

The field of particle physics is approaching a critical horizon defined by challenges including unprecedented data volumes and detector complexity. Upcoming ...
