Efforts to probe the physics of systems removed from equilibrium date back to Maxwell himself. But recent progress has renewed interest in the endeavour — a trend highlighted by this Insight, ...

The glass transition, extensively studied in dense fluids, polymers or colloids, corresponds to a marked evolution of equilibrium transport coefficients on a modest change of control parameter, such ...

The field of non-equilibrium quantum dynamics has rapidly progressed in recent years due to a confluence of interdisciplinary advances. These include developments in the theory of random quantum ...

There is a building under construction next to the physics building. I can't help but pause each day to observe the progress. Currently, crews are using a massive crane to hoist steel pieces in place.
