Ions in ionic liquids and concentrated electrolytes reside in a crowded, strongly-interacting environment, leading to the formation of discrete layers of charges at interfaces. Here, we propose a continuum theory that captures the…
We make remarks on Ristroph and Zhang's [{\it Phys. Rev. Lett.} 101, 194502 (2008)] paper.
A study of some decomposition schemes of the molecular energy into one- and two-center contributions published in the above mentioned journal highlights the importance of a 'dilemma' raised in such decompositions. Even more, it has been…
We study the effect of Debye screening of hypercharge when a net fermion number is reflected from a domain wall during a first order phase transition, which may be relevant for electroweak baryogenesis. We give a simple method for computing…
We review the physics of the ultraviolet renormalon. This mini-review is intended to be a sequel to the review by the same authors at the "QCD '96" conference last year (hep-ph/9610492).
Ion clustering has been proposed as a mechanism leading to the peculiar 'anomalous underscreening' phenomenon seen for electrostatic interactions between charge surfaces immersed in concentrated electrolytes. These interactions have been…

In these four lectures I review the theory and phenomenology of weak decays of quarks, and their r\^ole in the determination of the parameters of the Standard Model of particle physics, in testing subtle features of the theory and in…
The infrared (900-1100 cm-1) Faraday rotation and circular dichroism are measured in the normal state of underdoped High Tc superconductors and used to study the magneto-transport. YBa2Cu3O6+x thin films are investigated in the temperature…
We present the report of the hadronic working group of the BOOST2010 workshop held at the University of Oxford in June 2010. The first part contains a review of the potential of hadronic decays of highly boosted particles as an aid for…
We make comments on the presentation of Sinton's paper (Microfluidics and Nanofluidics {\bf 1}: 2, 2004) about the microscale flow visualization since the effects of the roughness along the microfabricated wall upon the current macroflow…
This fluid dynamics video is an entry for the Gallery of Fluid Motion of the 66th Annual Meeting of the APS-DFD. This work reveals new types of interfacial instabilities that occur during forced-spreading of dielectric films subjected to…
Summary for the review talk on recent progress in the theoretical studies of electron momentum density distribution at the Sagamore XIII conference (Stare Jablonki, Poland; September 3-9, 2000).
We report on experiments that consist in deforming a collection of monodisperse droplets produced by a microfluidic chip through a flow-focusing device. We show that a proper numerical modelling of the flow is necessary to access the stress…
We have recently suggested a new approach and design of an ultra-sensitive gravity wave detector antenna based on superconductivity. The idea was described in a short paper [1]: http://iopscience.iop.org/1742-6596/507/4/042013, in entries…
