Chirality, a term coined by Lord Kelvin for objects that cannot be superimposed onto their mirror image, continues to be a prime research theme both in general and specifically in the context of ...

Swimming at the microscale typically involves two modes of motion: mechanical propulsion and propulsion due to field interactions. During mechanical propulsion, particles swim by reconfiguring their ...

Shafting is widely used in ships, naval vessels, rail coaches, aircraft, spacecraft, and other machinery. Torsional vibration of shafting is always a most important problem for engineers. Many ...

Disordered hyperuniform materials suppress large-scale density fluctuations like crystals and remain locally isotropic as liquids. These materials possess unique properties, such as isotropic photonic ...
