Understanding how dynamic properties depend on the structure and thermodynamics in liquids is a long-standing open problem in condensed matter physics. A very simple approach is based on the Dzugutov ...

$$\begin{aligned} f(\mathbf {v}_1,\ldots , \mathbf {v}_N)=c \; {\delta }\left( \sum _i \mathbf {v}_i^2-U\right) \end{aligned}$$ $$\begin{aligned} f(\mathbf {v ...

We finally understand how black holes get their entropy. Physicists have been struggling to figure this out since the early 1970s, when Stephen Hawking and Jacob Bekenstein calculated how much entropy ...

Science popularization has its legends and heroes, just like any other field, though I’ve heard no plans as yet to open a Hall of Fame. Should that day come, one of the first inductees would ...
