Lex Kemper is an assistant professor of physics at NC State. He is interested in a new method of probing complicated and poorly understood materials, like superconductors, in order to find out what ...

Our world is made of "non-equilibrium"If you leave a hot cup of coffee on a desk, it eventually cools down.If you drop a ...

(Phys.org)—In 1876, the Austrian physicist Ludwig Boltzmann noticed something surprising about his equations that describe the flow of heat in a gas. Usually, the colliding gas particles eventually ...

A new study has uncovered the universal dynamics far from equilibrium in randomly interacting spin models, thereby complementing the well-established universality in low-energy equilibrium physics.

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 ...

Prof. Mahesh Bandi, leader of the Nonlinear and Non-equilibrium Physics Unit at OIST, has studied the intricate dynamics of solar energy production, specifically focusing on the variations in power ...
