dissipative

Fundamental open questions about the behaviour of topological matter can be explored in superconducting-circuit systems using dissipative preparation schemes9.

Impressio uses liquid-crystal elastomers to create novel dissipative liner materials for protective equipment designed to overcome the existing challenges of energy absorption in current helmet foams.

“Dissipative dark matter is a possible explanation, but it’s not clear that it’s explaining anything real,” he says.

Last year, they developed a theory of 'dissipative dark matter' in an attempt to explain dark-matter-like signals from the Galaxy's center seen by the Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope.

“Snowflakes, sand dunes and turbulent vortices all have in common that they are strikingly patterned structures that emerge in many-particle systems driven by some dissipative process,” he said.
