Amorphous gel structures are present in our everyday lives in the form of food, cosmetics, and biological systems. Experiments now show that their formation cannot be explained within the framework of ...

A new study has uncovered the universal dynamics far from equilibrium in randomly interacting spin models, thereby complementing the well-established universality in low-energy equilibrium physics.

Three different papers by three different groups on the same theme back-to-back in Nature? That is unusual. Yes, which is why they caught my eye. The papers all look rather interesting: they are about ...
