Crystals, bacterial colonies, flame fronts: the growth of surfaces was first described in the 1980s by the ...

For four decades, one of the most celebrated equations in physics remained half-proven. The Kardar-Parisi-Zhang equation, ...

The Kardar-Parisi-Zhang equation has been experimentally verified for the first time on 2D surfaces - thanks to sophisticated material design and polaritons. The question of how surfaces grow is one ...

Through the looking glass: The world of quantum physics and quantum computing is challenging for most people to wrap their heads around. I have read a fair number of books on the subjects, but the ...

By manipulating ultrafast quantum particles under extreme conditions, researchers have begun to probe growth dynamics in unprecedented detail. Why do patterns emerge as surfaces grow, whether in ...

The first experimental demonstration of KPZ behavior on 2D surfaces in space and time has been accomplished by a research team from the Cluster of Excellence ctd.qmat, located in Würzburg.

Researchers from the University of Hong Kong studying the structure of electrons in 2D materials have predicted new types of phase transitions that have yet to be seen in experiments Illustration of ...
