In the everyday world, governed by classical physics, the concept of equilibrium reigns. If you put a drop of ink into water, ...

Thermodynamics and statistical physics provide a unified framework linking the macroscopic laws of energy, work, and entropy to the microscopic motions of particles. Thermodynamics, rooted in the laws ...

Duke Quantum Center researchers use a neutral-atom platform to simulate unusual localization effects that could underpin robust quantum information storage.

John Hopfield and Geoffrey Hinton were awarded the 2024 Nobel Prize in physics on Tuesday for their contributions to machine learning. Their research, which draws from statistical physics, helped ...

Non-extensive statistical physics (NESP) provides a robust framework for characterising the complex, scale-invariant behaviour of seismic events. Extending beyond classical Boltzmann–Gibbs theory, ...

The 2026 edition of the traditional Boltzmann Lecture will be held on Monday, February 23rd, at 14:00, in Room 128–129. The lecture is organized by the Statistical Physics group at SISSA, close to ...

The field of particle physics is approaching a critical horizon defined by challenges including unprecedented data volumes and detector complexity. Upcoming ...
