New Monte Carlo method accelerates simulations of densely entangled polymer meltsWorldPing

Long polymer chains are everywhere: in synthetic materials, soft matter, biological systems such as chromosomes, and mathematical models of filaments and knots. When many such chains are densely packed, they form what physicists call a polymer melt.

This is a short WorldPing brief. The full report was published by Phys.org.
