Thermodynamical properties of the nuclear matter at sub-saturation densities were investigated using a simple van der Waals-like equation of state with an additional term representing the symmetry energy. First-order isospin-asymmetric…
Liquid-liquid phase separation has recently emerged as an important topic in the context of cellular organization. Within this context, there are multiple poorly understood features; for instance hints of critical behavior in the plasma…
Phase separation is a fairly common physical phenomenon with examples including the formation of water droplets from humid air (fog, rain), the separation of a crystalline structure from an isotropic material such as a liquid or even the…
For one-component fluids, we predict a pre-dewetting phase transition between a thin and thick low-density layer in liquid on a wall repelling the fluid. This is the case of a hydrophobic wall for water. A pre-dewetting line starts from the…

We study the phase transition in a system composed of dimers interacting with each other via a nearest-neighbor (NN) exchange $J$ and competing interactions taken from a truncated dipolar coupling. Each dimer occupies a link between two…
The behavior of a driven granular gas in a container consisting of $M$ connected compartments is studied employing a microscopic kinetic model. After obtaining the governing equations for the occupation numbers and the granular temperatures…
Inverse Patchy Colloids (IPCs) differ from conventional patchy particles because their patches repel (rather than attract) each other and attract (rather than repel) the part of the colloidal surface that is free of patches. These…
The coherent dynamics of bubble clusters in liquid are of fundamental and industrial importance and are elusive due to the complex interactions of disordered bubble oscillations. Here we introduce and demonstrate unsupervised learning of…
Labyrinthine patterns arise in two-dimensional physical systems submitted to competing interactions, ranging from the fields of solid-state physics to hydrodynamics. For systems of interacting particles, labyrinthine and stripe phases were…

Materials with nanoscale phase separation are considered. These materials are formed by a mixture of several phases, so that inside one phase there exist nanosize inclusions of other phases, with random shapes and random spatial locations.…

Many-body dissipative particle dynamics is constructed to exhibit vapour-liquid coexistence, with a sharp interface, and a vapour phase of vanishingly small density. In this form, the model is an unusual example of a soft-sphere liquid with…
Phase transitions in one-dimensional classical fluids are usually ruled out by making appeal to van Hove's theorem. A way to circumvent the conclusions of the theorem is to consider an interparticle potential that is everywhere bounded.…
