The use of capacitance sensors for fuel mass gauging has been in consideration since the early days of manned space flight. However, certain difficulties arise when considering tanks in microgravity environments. Surface tension effects…
We argue that the traditional event-plane method, which is still widely used to analyze anisotropic flow in ultrarelativistic heavy-ion collisions, should be abandoned because flow fluctuations introduce an uncontrolled bias in the…
Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) is carried out in vacuum to minimize the interaction of the imaging electrons with gas molecules while passing through the microscope column. Nevertheless, in typical devices, the pressure remains at…

Predictions of global climate models typically operate on coarse spatial scales due to the large computational costs of climate simulations. This has led to a considerable interest in methods for statistical downscaling, a similar process…
An asymptotic scaling theory is presented using the conceptual basis of trapping-free subspace (i.e., orthogonal subspace) to establish the generic mechanism of optimal efficiency of excitation energy transfer (EET) in light-harvesting…
An isolated charge-neutral drop suspended in an unbounded medium does not migrate in a uniform DC electric field. A nearby wall breaks the symmetry and causes the drop to drift towards or away from the boundary, depending on the electric…
