In the United States, automatic numerical computation stems from the Second World War, where the need to calculate artillery trajectories led to the development of the world’s first general purpose electronic computer, called the ENIAC (for electronic numerical integrator and calculator). Switched on in the summer of 1945, this machine employed 17,468 vacuum tubes connected by half a million so...

Temporal Griffiths phases.

Disorder is an unavoidable ingredient of real systems. Spatial disorder generates Griffiths phases (GPs) which, in analogy to critical points, are characterized by a slow relaxation of the order parameter and divergences of quantities such as the susceptibility. However, these singularities appear in an extended region of the parameter space and not just at a (critical) point, i.e., there is ge...
