In their recent publication in Science, the Scientific Director of MIFP Prof. Alexey Kavokin and Member of MIFP Dr. Stella Kavokina addressed the applicability of the universal scaling rule proposed by Nobel Prize winner Giorgio Parisi together with collaborators from Iran and China. The homepage note explains that the Parisi scaling describes many physical systems, from colonies of bacteria to forest fires, and also applies to condensates of liquid light or exciton-polaritons. Kavokin and Kavokina discuss recent experiments by the Sven Hoefling and Jacqueline Bloch groups and suggest that three-dimensional polariton crystals may be the next object to reveal the universal scaling law by Parisi. Paper details: Alexey Kavokin and Stella Kavokina, "A universal law for random fluctuations", Science, 2026. The article discusses how recent experiments on two-dimensional quasiparticle systems confirm a universal scaling theory for nonequilibrium systems.
