We study the effects of quenched disorder on electrons in a 3D nodal-line semimetal. Disorder leads to significant renormalisations of the quasiparticle properties due to ultraviolet processes, i.e., processes of scattering in a large band…

We report the observation of a doubly-periodic surface defect-pattern in the liquid crystal 8CB, formed during the nematic--smectic A phase transition. The pattern results from the antagonistic alignment of the 8CB molecules, which is…

Coupling between flow and orientation is a central issue in understanding the collective dynamics of active biofilaments and cells. Active stresses generated by motor activity destroy (quasi-)long-range orientational order and induce…
We examine the linear and nonlinear modes of a one-dimensional nonlinear electrical lattice, where the usual discrete Laplacian is replaced by a fractional discrete Laplacian. This induces a long-range intersite coupling that, at long…
We investigate the amplitude of mesoscopic fluctuations of the differential conductance of a metallic wire at arbitrary bias voltage V. For non-interacting electrons, the variance <delta g^2> increases with V. The asymptotic large-V…
