Universal Casimir attraction between filaments at the cell scale
Anne-Florence Raphaëlle Bitbol
The electromagnetic Casimir interaction between dielectric objects immersed in salted water includes a universal contribution that is not screened by the solvent and therefore long-ranged. Here, we study the geometry of two parallel dielectric cylinders. W ...
Bristol2024Learning Physics-Consistent Particle Interactions
Olga Fink, David Simon Kammer, Zhichao Han
Interacting particle systems play a key role in science and engineering. Access to the governing particle interaction law is fundamental for a complete understanding of such systems. However, the inherent system complexity keeps the particle interaction hi ...
Oxford University Press2023Density-wave ordering in a unitary Fermi gas with photon-mediated interactions
Jean-Philippe Brantut, Timo Zwettler, Victor Youri Helson, Kevin Etienne Robert Roux, Hideki Konishi, Elvia Colella
A density wave (DW) is a fundamental type of long-range order in quantum matter tied to self-organization into a crystalline structure. The interplay of DW order with superfluidity can lead to complex scenarios that pose a great challenge to theoretical an ...
NATURE PORTFOLIO2023Emergent U(1) symmetry in non-particle-conserving one-dimensional models
Frédéric Mila, Natalia Chepiga, Loïc Jean Pierre Herviou, Mohamed Zakaria Jouini
The properties of stable Luttinger liquid phases in models with a nonconserved number of particles are investigated. We study the Luttinger liquid phases in one-dimensional models of hard-core boson and spinless fermion chains where particles can be create ...
College Pk2023Single-particle inductively-coupled plasma mass spectrometry particle sizing and counting method, system, computer program and computer-readable data carrier
The invention concerns a single-particle inductively-coupled plasma (ICP) mass spectrometry particle sizing and counting method comprising providing or receiving an intensity-versus-counts histogram of particles detected using an ICP mass spectrometer, the ...
2023Scale invariant Einstein-Cartan gravity and flat space conformal symmetry
Georgios Karananas, Sebastian Zell
We find the conditions under which scale-invariant Einstein-Cartan gravity with scalar matter fields leads to an approximate conformal invariance of the flat space particle theory up to energies of the order of the Planck mass. In the minimal setup, these ...
New York2023Rapid transformation of wildfire emissions to harmful background aerosol
Athanasios Nenes, Spyros Pandis
Wildfires are a significant source of organic aerosol during summer, with major impacts on air quality and climate. However, studies in Europe suggest a surprisingly low (less than 10%) contribution of biomass burning organic aerosol to average summertime ...
Berlin2023Phonon Self-Energy Corrections: To Screen, or Not to Screen
First-principles calculations of phonons are often based on the adiabatic approximation and on Brillouinzone samplings that might not always be sufficient to capture the subtleties of Kohn anomalies. These shortcomings can be addressed through corrections ...
