Most materials age, and their properties change over time. The aging of materials is reflected in their mechanical responses to external stress and strain, which exhibit logarithmic relaxation and universal power-law creep. Those responses…
Morphological development is part of the way any human or animal learns. The learning processes starts with the morphology at birth and progresses through changing morphologies until adulthood is reached. Biologically, this seems to…
In the vicinity of a massive black hole, stars move on precessing Keplerian orbits. The mutual stochastic gravitational torques between the stellar orbits drive a rapid reorientation of their orbital planes, through a process called vector…

We study the free evolution of frictional granular gases using large scale molecular dynamics simulation in three dimensions. The system cools due to solid friction among the interacting particles. At early stages of evolution, the density…
In nuclear star clusters, the potential is governed by the central massive black hole, so that stars move on nearly Keplerian orbits and the total potential is almost stationary in time. Yet, the deviations of the potential from the…
