Non-spherical particles transported by an anisotropic turbulent flow preferentially align with the mean shear and intermittently tumble when the local strain fluctuates. Such an intricate behaviour is here studied for inertialess,…
Dislocations, as topological defects in crystal lattices, are fundamental to understanding plasticity in materials. Similar periodic structures also arise in continuum field theories, such as chiral soliton lattices (CSLs), which appear in…

The linear Schr\"{o}dinger equation does not predict that macroscopic bodies should be located at one place only. Quantum mechanics textbooks generally solve the problem by introducing the projection postulate, which forces definite values…
