The evaporation of water is ubiquitous in nature and industrial technologies. The known mechanism for evaporation is "thermal evaporation" which highlights the energy input for evaporation is via heat. Due to the weak absorption of water to…
Cooling of systems to sub-kelvin temperatures is usually done using either a cold bath of particles or spontaneous photon scattering from a laser field; in either case, cooling is driven by interaction with a well-ordered, cold (i.e. low…
Many samples of current interest in molecular physics and physical chemistry exist in the liquid phase and are vaporized for the use in gas cells, diffuse gas targets or molecular gas jets. For some of these techniques the large sample…

The model of ideal fluid flow around a cylindrical obstacle exhibits a long-established physical picture where originally straight streamlines will be deflected over the whole space by the obstacle. As inspired by transformation optics and…
The climates of terrestrial planets with a small amount of water on their surface, called land planets, are significantly different from the climates of planets having a large amount of surface water. Land planets have a higher runaway…
Measuring the thermal conductivity ($\kappa$) of water at extreme conditions is a challenging task and few experimental data are available. We predict $\kappa$ for temperatures and pressures relevant to the conditions of the Earth mantle,…
