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.

“Out of equilibrium, the first law of thermodynamics continues ... This kind of adjustment in our understanding of the basic building blocks of physics doesn’t happen often, so when it does, it has ...

Physicists in the US have made the first gas that never reaches equilibrium. David Weiss and colleagues at Penn State University performed their experiment with a one-dimensional Bose gas of ultracold ...
