Nanomaterials and nanoparticles are nowadays used in a wide range of applications; from sunscreens, paint and food industry to catalytic processes, lighting, TV's and displays, their presence is percolating in our daily life. New applications rise every da ...
Many soft natural tissues display a fascinating set of mechanical properties that remains unmatched by manmade counterparts. These unprecedented mechanical properties are achieved through an intricate interplay between the structure and locally varying the ...
Percolation, in its most general interpretation, refers to the “flow” of something (a physical agent, data or information) in a network, possibly accompanied by some nonlinear dynamical processes on the network nodes (sometimes denoted reaction–diffusion s ...
X-ray magnetic critical scattering measurements and specific heat measurements were performed on the perovskite iridate Sr3Ir2O7. We find that the magnetic interactions close to the Neel temperature T-N = 283.4(2) K are three-dimensional. This contrasts wi ...
Using electrically connected metal-coated posts in a deterministic lateral displacement (DLD) device and applying electric fields, electrokinetics is used to tune separations, significantly decrease the critical size for separation, and increase the dynami ...
A relationship based upon analogy is explored between (i) a lattice-based model for percolation by cylinders that employs distinct site types with unequal occupation probabilities in order to capture heterogeneities in the particle dispersion, and (ii) the ...
We present a self-organised method for quickly obtaining the epidemic threshold of infective processes on networks. Starting from simple percolation models, we introduce the possibility that the effective infection probability is affected by the perception ...
