For some idea of what this is all about, On general principles, this looks a bit more promising than the heavy-ion case, since there are many different kinds of systems one might look at, and the connections are more to QFT than to string theory. The main point of the story is to tell about what is probably the hottest topic in hep-th these days, attempts to use AdS/CFT to say something about some models in condensed matter physics. CONDENSED-MATTER PHYSICS : Let's twist agein,---Science DataBase--- by,The international weekly jurnal of science. What is so difficult to understand? New principle sets maximum limit on quantum information communication This is treated well in Chaikin and Lubensky's "Principles of condensed matter physics" and Brenner and Edwards "Macrotransport processes". And that energy density is reduced as condensed matter is created. The authors achieved this by combining highly sophisticated, spin-sensitive scanning tunnelling micros-copy (STM) with an equally sophisticated first-principles calculation of the electronic structure of the manganese surface. And this understanding makes for a leap toward the supernatural-seeming applications that condensed-matter physics conjures. It is no different in principle from evaporation/condensation cycles in condensed matter physics. Benedek's research bridges materials science, solid-state chemistry and condensed matter physics. It – represents a major step toward understanding the behavior of these systems of particles.
