Researchers have recast diffusion in multicomponent alloys as a sum of individual contributions, called 'kinosons.' Using machine learning to compute the statistical distribution of the individual ...

Using ultracold atoms and laser light, researchers recreated the behavior of a Josephson junction—an essential component of ...

This news release is available in German. Imperfections in the regular atomic arrangements in crystals determine many of the properties of a material, and their diffusion is behind many ...

Physicists at the University of Kaiserslautern in Germany have observed how individual atoms diffuse through a gas for the first time, and how individual collisions between particles affect diffusion.

State-of-the-art techniques make it possible to build a spin-chain quantum simulator based on laser-trapped circular Rydberg atoms. This simulator combines the flexibility of atomic lattices and the ...

A series of "states" (dots) connected with "transitions" (lines) in a complex system. Bigger dots correspond to states where more time is spent during simulation, thicker lines for faster transitions.
