SWhat changed
Introduced the stochastic KPZ growth equation and exact one-dimensional scaling within its model.
Scientific scope
The record is the exact three-author 1986 Physical Review Letters paper. It does not absorb earlier growth models and Burgers dynamics, later proofs of KPZ universality, experimental realizations or exact results for all dimensions.
