The zero-temperature Casimir-Lifshitz force between two plates moving parallel to each other at arbitrary constant speed was found in [New J. Phys. 11, 033035 (2009)]. The solution is here generalized to the case where the plates are at…

A phenomenological 2D model, simulating the martensitic transformation, is built upon existing experimental observations that the size of the formed plates -in direct transformation- decreases as the temperature is lowered; then they…
It is well-known that evaporation can lead to cooling. However, little is known that evaporation can actually create a refrigeration effect, i.e., the vapor phase temperature can drop below the temperature of the cooling wall. This…
