The lack of detailed balance in active colloidal suspensions allows dissipation to determine stationary states. Here we show that slow viscous flow produced by polar or apolar active colloids near plane walls mediates attractive…
The interface between the vapor and liquid phase of quadrupolar-dipolar fluids is the seat of an electric interfacial potential whose influence on ion solvation and distribution is not yet fully understood. To obtain further microscopic…

We investigate the dynamics of spin-nonequilibrium electron systems for the case when normal electron collisions prevail over the other scattering processes and the "hydrodynamic flow" regime is realized. The hydrodynamic equations for the…
The anomalous properties of water in the supercooled state are numerous and well-known. Particularly striking are the strong changes in dynamic properties that appear to display divergences at temperatures close to -- but beyond -- the…

Water freezing in particle suspensions widely exists in nature. As a typical physical system of free boundary problem, the spatiotemporal evolution of the solid/liquid interface not only origins from phase transformation but also from…

A core-softened model of a glass forming fluid is numerically studied in the limit of very low temperatures. The model shows two qualitatively different behaviors depending on the strength of the attraction between particles. For no or low…
In undercooled liquids, the anharmonicity of the interatomic potentials causes a volume increase of the inherent structures with increasing energy content. In most glass formers, this increase is stronger than the vibrational Gr\"uneisen…
