Living organisms, ecosystems and the planet Earth are, from a physics point of view, examples of extraordinarily large and complex systems that are not in thermal equilibrium. To physically describe ...

We develop a thin-film microstructural model that represents structural markers (i.e., triple junctions in the two-dimensional projections of the structure of films with columnar grains) in terms of a ...

Density functional theory (DFT) is a cornerstone tool of modern physics, chemistry, and engineering used to explore the behavior of electrons. While essential in modeling systems with many electrons, ...

Mathematical classical mechanics is underpinned by Hamiltonian flows on symplectic and more general Poisson manifolds, with conserved energy functions defining vector fields whose integrability is ...
