The Ising model remains a cornerstone in the study of statistical mechanics, providing a simple yet profound framework for understanding cooperative phenomena and criticality in physical systems. By ...

The study of spin glasses and Ising models occupies a central role in statistical physics, providing fundamental insights into disordered systems and phase transitions. The Ising model, with its ...

I chart the considerable changes in the status and conception of the Lenz-Ising model from 1920 to 1950 in terms of three phases: In the early 1920s, Lenz and Ising introduced the model in the field ...

This is the last in a series of three papers on the history of the Lenz-Ising model from 1920 to the early 1970s. In the first paper, I studied the invention of the model in the 1920s, while in the ...

A model that simulates magnets can also reproduce pools of water on Arctic sea ice from just one real-world measurement. Researchers in the US and UK adapted the Ising statistical model of phase ...

This May the Arctic sea ice cover was 8.5 percent below the 1981–2010 average—a drop of 436,000 square miles—meaning the ocean is absorbing a lot of sunlight that would normally be reflected. This ...
