One common characteristic of certain systems such as polymers, supercooled liquids, colloids or spin glasses is that they take a long time to reach equilibrium. They are determined by very slow ...

(Phys.org)—Researchers at Sandia National Laboratories in Albuquerque, New Mexico have succeeded in observing the interference of a single atom over a distance far greater than its coherence length ...

Thanks to the JANUS II supercomputer, researchers have refined the calculation of the microscopic correlation length and have reproduced the experimental protocol, enabling them to calculate the ...
