Encapsulation of chemicals using polymer membranes enables to control their transport and delivery for applications such as agrochemistry or detergency. To rationalize the design of polymer capsules, it is necessary to understand how the…
Spin pumping refers to the microwave-driven spin current injection from a ferromagnet into the adjacent target material. We theoretically investigate the spin pumping into superconductors by fully taking account of impurity spin-orbit…
The acoustofluidic method holds great promise for manipulating microorganisms. When exposed to the steady vortex structures of acoustic streaming flow, these microorganisms exhibit intriguing dynamic behaviors, such as hydrodynamic trapping…
We discuss possibility of the existence of tetraquark states made of four quarks in the string (flux tube) model. The new particle is composed of a diquark and an anti-diquark which are connected by a color flux. It is shown that the…
The recent opinion article "A decade of molecular cell atlases" by Stephen Quake narrates the incredible single-cell genomics technology advances that have taken place over the last decade, and how they have translated to increasingly…
These lectures start with the mean field theory for a symmetric binary fluid mixture, addressing interfacial tension, the stress tensor, and the equations of motion (Model H). We then consider the phase separation kinetics of such a…
The operational dc-SQUID based on intrinsic Josephson junctions in Bi$_2$Sr$_2$CaCu2O$_{8+\delta}$ high-$T_c$ superconductor is fabricated and studied. The novel in-plane loop layout and the developed in-situ endpoint detection method…
Quantum circuit theory has emerged as an essential tool for the study of the dynamics of superconducting circuits. Recently, the problem of accounting for time-dependent driving via external magnetic fields was addressed by Riwar-DiVincenzo…
A macroscopic fluid pump works according to the law of Newtonian mechanics and transfers a large number of molecules per cycle (of the order of 10^23). By contrast, a nano-scale charge pump can be thought as the ultimate miniaturization of…
The rich dynamics of flow between two weakly coupled macroscopic quantum reservoirs has led to a range of important technologies. Practical development has so far been limited to superconducting systems, for which the basic building block…
Microfluidics, the study of fluids in microscopic channels, has led to important advances in fields as diverse as microelectronics, biotechnology and chemistry. Microfluidic research is primarily based on the use of microfluidic chips,…
Supply chains form the backbone of modern economies and therefore require reliable information flows. In practice, however, supply chains face severe technical challenges, especially regarding security and privacy. In this work, we…
Arrays of Josephson junctions are at the forefront of research on quantum circuitry for quantum computing, simulation and metrology. They provide a testing bed for exploring a variety of fundamental physical effects where macroscopic phase…
Shear thickening, an increase of viscosity with shear rate, is a ubiquitous phenomena in suspended materials that has implications for broad technological applications. Controlling this thickening behavior remains a major challenge and has…
From microscopic fungi to colossal whales, fluidic ejections are a universal and intricate phenomenon in biology, serving vital functions such as animal excretion, venom spraying, prey hunting, spore dispersal, and plant guttation. This…
Surface assays, such as ELISA and immunofluorescence, are nothing short of ubiquitous in biotechnology and medical diagnostics today. The development and optimization of these assays generally focuses on three aspects: immobilization…
Stokes flows are a type of fluid flow where convective forces are small in comparison with viscous forces, and momentum transport is entirely due to viscous diffusion. Besides being routinely used as benchmark test cases in numerical fluid…
The tunneling path between the CuO2-layers in cuprate superconductors and a scanning tunneling microscope tip passes through a barrier made from other oxide layers. This opens up the possibility that inelastic processes in the barrier…
We bring forward a unified framework for the study of the superfluid stiffness and the quantum capacitance of superconducting platforms exhibiting conventional spin-singlet pairing. We focus on systems which in their normal phase contain…
Linear shear flow bounded by a plane wall is an idealization that occurs in microfluidic devices and many other applications. Perfect plane approximation neglects surface irregularities and discrete particles adsorbed at the surface. Here…
