We describe the ``electrolubrication'' occurring in liquid mixtures confined between two charged surfaces. For a mixture of two liquids, the effective viscosity decreases markedly in the presence of a field. The origin of this reduction is…

We introduce a "water retention" model for liquids captured on a random surface with open boundaries, and investigate it for both continuous and discrete surface heights 0, 1, ... n-1, on a square lattice with a square boundary. The model…
Taking into account pseudoscalar as well as scalar condensates, we reexamine the chiral restoration path on the chiral manifold. We shall see both condensates coherently produce a density wave at a certain density, which delays chiral…
Accurate charge densities are central to electronic-structure theory, but computing charge-state-dependent densities with density functional theory remains too expensive for large-scale screening and defect workflows. We present ChargeFlow,…
