From atomic vibrations to laboratory mechanics: Bridging 20 orders of magnitude in timeWorldPing

How can we predict the way a real material, such as a polymer, responds mechanically over timescales ranging from the ultrafast motion of atoms to the slow deformations measured in a laboratory? This is a deceptively difficult problem.

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