The structure of disordered materials typically ages, but sometimes also rejuvenates, resulting in intriguing memory properties. Progress in numerical simulations of spin glasses has now enabled replication of such phenomena from simple models.

In the version of this article, an exponent was missing for the number of spins in the text now reading "Baity-Jesi and colleagues have simulated a set of 1603 spins interacting with their nearest neighbours through randomly distributed couplings of value ±1"; the error is corrected in the HTML and PDF versions of the article.
