Heinz, S. 2003 Statistical Mechanics of Turbulent Flows. Springer-Verlag, Berlin, Heidelberg, New York, Tokyo (ISBN: 3-540-40103-2). The simulation of turbulent reacting flows, connected with ...

Statistical mechanics is one of the pillars of modern physics. Ludwig Boltzmann (1844–1906) and Josiah Willard Gibbs (1839–1903) were its primary formulators. They both worked to establish a bridge ...

Physicists have created the first two-dimensional version of the Bose glass, a novel phase of matter that challenges statistical mechanics. Physicists from the Cavendish Laboratory in Cambridge have ...

Statistical mechanics provides a fundamental framework for understanding how collective phenomena in many-body systems give rise to macroscopic changes in state, known as phase transitions. Research ...

Mathematicians have applied statistical mechanics to climate change detection and attribution for first time. They have shown how to separate the 'signal' of human-made climate change from the 'noise' ...

The six-vertex model is a paradigmatic framework in statistical mechanics, originally introduced to capture the essential physics of ice-type systems. By assigning one of six allowed configurations to ...

In this new work, statistical mechanics is used to understand how different mathematical models "compete" when trying to explain a system. This matters because many scientific fields rely on ...

I RECENTLY walked by a physics department office that had a sticker on it saying something like “Heisenberg may or may not have been here”. This is in part a nod to the quantum cat, which, while it is ...

Advanced science textbooks are not generally known for their jocularity, but a purported image showing the introductory sentences from one such work is downright gloomy: This chapter on ...
