We present experimental and theoretical results on intrusion-extrusion cycles of water in hydrophobic mesoporous materials, characterized by independent cylindrical pores. The intrusion, which takes place above the bulk saturation pressure, can be...
When two solid surfaces are brought in contact, water vapor present in the ambient air may condense in the region of the contact to form a liquid bridge connecting the two surfaces : this is the so-called capillary condensation. This phenomenon has...
The cosmic infrared background (CIB) radiation was a long-sought fossil of energetic processes associated with structure formation and chemical evolution since the Big Bang. The COBE Diffuse Infrared Background Experiment (DIRBE) and Far Infrared A...
There has been a surge of recent interest in the Wigner's Friend paradox, sparking several novel thought experiments and no-go theorems. The main narrative has been that Wigner's Friend highlights a counterintuitive feature that is unique to quantum...
Scattering experiments have revolutionized our understanding of nature. Examples include the discovery of the nucleus, crystallography, and the discovery of the double helix structure of DNA. Scattering techniques differ by the type of the particles...
There is a growing acknowledgement in the scientific community of the importance of making experimental data machine findable, accessible, interoperable, and reusable (FAIR). Recognizing that high quality metadata are essential to make datasets FAIR,...
Pilot wave theory endows particles with definite positions at all times governed by deterministic dynamics. However, individual particle trajectories are generically undetectable by experiment. This idea might seem to be contested in light of two pro...
We present results on two-particle angular correlations in proton-proton collisions at center of mass energies of 200 and 410 GeV. The PHOBOS experiment at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider has a uniquely large coverage for charged particles, giv...
Wide-angle x-ray scattering (WAXS) is emerging as a powerful tool for increasing the resolution of solution structure measurements of biomolecules. Compared to its better known complement, small angle x-ray scattering (SAXS), WAXS targets higher scat...
We developed a model of paraffin wax crystal coarsening that well describes our experimental results and allows behavior of the paraffin films to be predicted on the basis of the extracted kinetic parameters. Wax crystalline films were evaporated on...
Mysteries in binary phase diagram are still in existence, e.g., the case in Cu-Ni which is mutual miscible system, the question addressed that "Indirect experimental evidence indicates the presence of a miscibility gap in the fcc phase at a temperatu...
Besides magnetic and charge order, regular arrangements of orbital occupation constitute a fundamental order parameter of condensed matter physics. Even though orbital order is difficult to identify directly in experiments, its presence was firmly es...
Robert Haigh, also known as Omni Trio, is a British electronic, ambient and experimental musician. At school, Haigh was in a band called Labyrinth playing
The dependence on the structure functions and Z, N numbers of the nuclear binding energy is investigated within the inverse problem(IP) approach. This approach allows us to infer the underlying model parameters from experimental observation, rather t...
The strong coupling constant g_(Ko* K pi) of the scalar Ko* meson decay to (K pi) is calculated in light cone QCD sum rule. The predicted value of the coupling constant g_(Ko* K pi) is in a good agreement with the experimental result....
We study the physical mechanism of the surface d->d+is transition proposed as the interpretation of results of tunneling experiments into ab planes. We base our argument on first-order perturbation theory and show that the zero-bias states drive th...
We discuss the basic physical mechanism of the d->d+is transition, which is the currently accepted explanation for the results of tunneling experiments into $ab$ planes. Using the first-order perturbation theory, we show that the zero-bias states d...
The ratio R_η=Γ(η-> π^+π^-γ)/Γ(η-> π^+π^-π^0) has been measured by analyzing 22 million φ\to ηγdecays collected by the KLOE experiment at DA\PhiNE, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 558 pb^{-1}. The η\to π^+π^-γproceeds b...
ALICE (A Large Ion Collider Experiment) is one of the seven experiments at the the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN, Geneva, Switzerland. ALICE is especially designed for heavy-ion collisions but it also operates a rich proton-proton (pp) program....
