Low-dimensional, many-body systems are often characterized by ultraslow dynamics. We study a labelled particle in a generic system of identical particles with hard-core interactions in a strongly disordered environment. The disorder is manifested through intermittent motion with scale-free sticking times at the single particle level. While for a non-interacting particle we find anomalous diffusion of the power-law form ⟨ x 2 ( t ) ⟩ ≃ t ?> of the mean squared displacement with 0 , we demonstrate here that the combination of the disordered environment with the many-body interactions leads to an ultraslow, logarithmic dynamics ⟨ x 2 ( t ) ⟩ ≃ log 1 / 2 t ?> with a universal 1 / 2 ?> exponent. Even when a characteristic sticking time exists but the fluctuations of sticking times diverge we observe the mean squared displacement ⟨ x 2 ( t ) ⟩ ≃ t γ ?> with 0 , that is slower than the famed Harris law ⟨ x 2 ( t ) ⟩ ≃ t 1 / 2 ?> without disorder. We rationalize the results in terms of a subordination to a counting process, in which each transition is dominated by the forward waiting time of an ageing continuous time process.
