Condensation phenomena in statistical mechanics refer to the abrupt accumulation of a significant fraction of a system’s degrees of freedom into a dominant, macroscopically occupied state. This ...

Statistical mechanics and probability theory form a cornerstone of modern physics and applied mathematics by linking microscopic interactions with macroscopic phenomena. This interdisciplinary field ...

Physicists have created the first two-dimensional version of the Bose glass, a novel phase of matter that challenges statistical mechanics. Physicists from the Cavendish Laboratory in Cambridge have ...

Statistical mechanics is one of the pillars of modern physics. Ludwig Boltzmann (1844-1906) and Josiah Willard Gibbs (1839-1903) were its primary formulators. They both worked to establish a bridge ...

If I roll a pair of dice and you get to bet on one number, what do you choose? The smart choice is 7 because there are more ways for 2 dice to come up 7 than any other number. Well, it turns out that ...

A research team led by Prof. PAN Ding, Associate Professor from the Departments of Physics and Chemistry, and Dr. LI Shuo-Hui, Research Assistant Professor from the Department of Physics at the Hong ...

Robert P Crease attends a meeting that’s extraordinary for its diversity, longevity, impact and, above all, the character of its organizer Master of the meeting: Joel Lebowitz has run the Statistical ...

I RECENTLY walked by a physics department office that had a sticker on it saying something like “Heisenberg may or may not have been here”. This is in part a nod to the quantum cat, which, while it is ...

Advanced science textbooks are not generally known for their jocularity, but a purported image showing the introductory sentences from one such work is downright gloomy: This chapter on ...
