Researchers at Leipzig University have developed a highly efficient method to investigate systems with long-range interactions that were previously puzzling to experts. These systems can be gases or ...

Long polymer chains are everywhere: in synthetic materials, soft matter, biological systems such as chromosomes, and mathematical models of filaments and knots. When many such chains are densely ...

A physical system is in equilibrium when its macroscopic properties such as pressure or temperature do not change over time. Nonequilibrium processes occur when environmental changes push a system out ...
