In spite of their seemingly random motion, atoms in computer‐simulated glasses “remember” the time interval between a pair of freezings, simplifying certain many‐body calculations.

In the two decades since construction began, the Stanford Linear Accelerator Center and its electron accelerator, two miles long, have made many fundamental contributions to particle physics.

Pure physics applied: academic physics gave birth to a new practical discipline with its own priorities and its own departmental structure.
