In the last decade, the theory of large deviations has become a main tool in statistical mechanics especially in the study of non-equilibrium. In a rational reconstruction of the story, one must ...

Physicists have upended a foundational law of materials science by heating gold to over 19,000°C — more than 14 times its melting point — while it remained perfectly solid. The study, published in ...

How life first began on Earth remains a huge question – scientists have ideas of how it kicked off, perhaps near a hydrothermal vent providing the energy needed for the chemical reaction to take place ...
