Friction is a major source of energy loss in mechanical devices. This energy loss may be minimized by creating interfaces with extremely reduced friction, i.e. superlubricity. Conventional wisdom holds that incommensurate interface…

For wall turbulence, moments of velocity fluctuations are known to be logarithmic functions of the height from the wall. This logarithmic scaling is due to the existence of a characteristic velocity and to the nonexistence of any…
Microwave, submillimetre-wave, and far-infrared phased arrays are of considerable importance for astronomy. We consider the behaviour imaging phased arrays and interferometric phased arrays from a functional perspective. It is shown that…
Distorted plane waves, sometimes called Eisenstein functions, are a family of eigenfunctions of a Schr\"odinger operator that are not square integrable. More precisely, they can be written as the sum of a plane wave and an outgoing wave. We…
