Vortex, the winding of a vector field in two dimensions, has its core the field singularity and its topological charge defined by the quantized winding angle of the vector field. Vortices are one of the most fundamental topological…

Density waves in the central kpc of galaxies, taking the form of spirals, bars and/or lopsided density distributions are potential actors of the redistribution of angular momentum. They thus play an important role in the overall evolution…
The measured distribution of the single-channel delay time of localized microwave radiation and its correlation with intensity differ sharply from the behavior of diffusive waves. The delay time is found to increase with intensity, while…
Traditional models of electrokinetic transport in porous media are based on homogenized material properties, which neglect any macroscopic effects of microscopic fluctuations. This perspective is taken not only for convenience, but also…
