Researchers have made a breakthrough in applying the first law of thermodynamics to complex systems, rewriting the way we ...

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 ...

Phases of matter are the basic states that matter can take—like water that can occur in a liquid or ice phase. Traditionally, ...

How it works: the wave in the foreground is an illustration of the phase of an out-of-equilibrium Bose-Einstein condensate in a 1D cavity, which belongs to the Kardar-Parisi-Zhang universality class.

Caltech experiments uncovered a stable double helix state in plasma flux ropes. The same principles explain cosmic structures such as the Double Helix Nebula. Research into the Sun’s outer atmosphere ...
