Heat transport in nanoscale systems is both hard to measure microscopically, and hard to interpret. Ballistic and diffusive heat flow coexist, adding confusion. This paper looks at a very simple case: a nanoscale crystal repeated…
It is well known that energy dissipation and finite size can deeply affect the dynamics of granular matter, often making usual hydrodynamic approaches problematic. Here we report on the experi-mental investigation of a small model system,…

The results of a long-established investigation into pupal transpiration are used as a rudimentary data set. These data are then generalised to all temperatures and humidities by invoking the property of multiplicative separability, as well…
Thermal motion in complex fluids is a complicated stochastic process but ubiquitously exhibits initial ballistic, intermediate sub-diffusive, and long-time non-Gaussian diffusive motion, unless interrupted. Despite its relevance to numerous…

We present a framework for systems in which diffusion-advection transport of a tracer substance in a mobile zone is interrupted by trapping in an immobile zone. Our model unifies different model approaches based on distributed-order…
