Systems out of thermodynamic equilibrium are very common in nature. In recent years they have attracted constantly growing attention because of their relevance for fundamental physics as well as for ...

Two physicists have offered a way to mathematically describe a particular physics phenomenon called a phase transition in a system out of equilibrium. Such phenomena are central in physics, and ...

A team of scientists has used a quantum processor to create an exotic new state of matter, capturing the strange motion of quantum particles in real time.

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 ...

A theoretical framework predicts the emergence of non-reciprocal interactions that effectively violate Newton's third law in ...
