Most properties of liquid water are determined by its hydrogen-bond network. Because forming an aqueous interface requires termination of this network, one might expect the molecular level properties of interfacial water to markedly differ…
It has long been recognized that the key to understand kinetic friction force $F_k$ is the analysis of microscopic instabilities that lead to sudden irreversible "pops" of certain degrees of freedom. In this Letter, the nature of such…

Internal waves in the ocean interact in triads. Early work emphasized the importance of extreme-scale separated interactions in which two large wavenumber waves interact with one small wavenumber wave. More recent efforts have called this…
