Lorentz symmetry is a fundamental pillar of modern Physics, yet high-energy theories often predict its violation. One potential signature of such a violation is cosmic birefringence - rotation of the polarization plane of photons due to…
High magnetic fields were used to deform spherical nanocapsules, self-assembled from bola-amphiphilic sexithiophene molecules. At low fields the deformation -- measured through linear birefringence -- scales quadratically with the capsule…

The construction of needlet-type wavelets on sections of the spin line bundles over the sphere has been recently addressed in Geller and Marinucci (2008), and Geller et al. (2008,2009). Here we focus on an alternative proposal for needlets…
We have explored the magnetosphere described by a numerical solution for an axisymmetric rotating field satisfying the force-free and ideal MHD conditions everywhere. The electric current distribution is determined by the requirement of…
The work is devoted to the study of periodic structures in the magnetic field of the photosphere. The polarity of the Sun's magnetic fields shows cyclicity with periods of 1-3 years, which is possibly due to quasi-biennial variations that…
