Dynamic wetting poses a well-known challenge in classical sharp-interface formulation as the no-slip wall condition leads to a contact line singularity that is typically regularized with a Navier boundary condition, often requiring…

We study the magnetic and thermodynamic properties of a spin-$1/2$ Ising system containing three layers, each of which is composed exclusively of one out of two possible types of atoms, \textbf{A} or \textbf{B}. The \textbf{A-A} and…
We report on the dewetting of a monolayer on a solid substrate, where mass transport occurs via surface diffusion. For a wide range of parameters, a labyrinthine pattern of bilayer islands is formed. An irreversible regime and a…
Recent experimental studies of molten metal droplets wetting high temperature reactive substrates have established that the majority of triple-line motion occurs when inertial effects are dominant. In light of these studies, this paper…
Text-to-image diffusion models have been adopted into key commercial workflows, such as art generation and image editing. Characterising the implicit social biases they exhibit, such as gender and racial stereotypes, is a necessary first…
We investigate the dynamics of the quantum Ising model on two-dimensional square lattices up to $16 \times 16$ spins. In the ordered phase, the model is predicted to exhibit dynamically constrained dynamics, leading to confinement of…
A coarse grained description of a two phase fluid is used to study the steady state configuration of the interface separating the coexisting phases, and the motion of the contact line at which the interface intersects a solid boundary. The…
We present a one-dimensional scattering theory which enables us to describe a wealth of effects arising from the coupling of the motional degree of freedom of scatterers to the electromagnetic field. Multiple scattering to all orders is…
