Yale physicist Helen Caines has arrived at a key juncture in her long campaign to understand the “critical point” and the “strong force” of nuclear matter. In the subatomic realm, the universe’s ...

Scientists have long sought to unravel the mysteries of strange metals—materials that defy conventional rules of electricity and magnetism. Now, a team of physicists at Rice University has made a ...

Random polynomials, whose coefficients or zeros are drawn from probability distributions, provide a fertile ground for understanding complex systems and statistical behaviours. A central theme in this ...

Researchers in the US and Italy have identified a second critical point in two realistic theoretical models of water. This finding, which draws on state-of-the-art computational methods and supports a ...
