The methyl groups in hexamethylbenzene C$_6$(CH$_3$)$_6$ become magnetically ordered at the molecular level below 118 K. This is also near the temperature at which the system structurally transitions from triclinic to a unique near-cubic…

Recent observations show that the thermal X-ray spectra of many isolated neutron stars are featureless and in some cases (e.g., RX J1856.5-3754) well fit by a blackbody. Such a perfect blackbody spectrum is puzzling since radiative…
We argue that the radiative energy loss of a parton traversing the quark-gluon plasma is determined by Landau damping of soft modes in the plasma. Using this idea, we calculate the jet quenching parameter of a gluon. The calculation is done…
