A new method simplifies calculating memory functions in generalized Langevin equations by linking random forces to liquid interactions. This aids understanding non-Gaussian behavior in supercooled liquids.

Area of Science:

  • Theoretical Chemistry
  • Statistical Mechanics
  • Computational Physics

Background:
