In high-latitude and mountain regions, local processes such as redistribution by wind, snow metamorphism, and percolation of water produce a complex spatial distribution of snow depths and snow densities. With its strong ...

We study the behavior of cylindrical objects as they sink into a dry granular bed fluidized due to lateral oscillations. Somewhat unexpectedly, we have found that, within a large range of lateral shaking powers, cylinders ...

Transport of solutes through channels with rough boundaries is abundant in natural and engineered settings. However, it is not known currently what the consequences of an abruptly alternating boundary are for the solute ...

The principal inhibitor of fast charging lithium ion cells is the graphite negative electrode, where favorable conditions for lithium plating occur at high charge rates, causing accelerated degradation and safety concerns. ...

There are limited data on organic contaminants in marine biota from coastal Tanzania, especially on the occurrence of industrial-use contaminants such as polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) and polybrominated diphenyl ethers ...

We propose a first minimal theory for boundary layer turbulence that captures very well the profile of the mean-square velocity fluctuations in the streamwise direction and give a quantitative prediction of the Townsend-Perry ...

We theoretically consider the spin Seebeck effect, the charge Seebeck coefficient, and the thermoelectric figure of merit in superconducting hybrid structures including either magnetic textures or intrinsic spin-orbit ...

Polar active matter of self-propelled particles sustain spontaneous flows through the full-integer topological defects. We study theoretically the incompressible flow profiles around ±1 defects induced by polar and dipolar ...

Silicon carbide (SiC) is a wide band-gap semiconductor of great technological importance, showing promise for application areas ranging from quantum computing and communication to power devices. Vital in both the contexts ...
