Latent Mechanisms of Polarization Switching from In Situ Electron Microscopy Observations

Vasiliki Tileli, Reinis Ignatans

In situ scanning transmission electron microscopy enables observation of the domain dynamics in ferroelectric materials as a function of externally applied bias and temperature. The resultant data sets contain a wealth of information on polarization switch ...

Tribological Approach to the Watch Movements

Valentine Agnès Madeleine Magnin

Mechanical watches are complex and sensitive systems that have to maintain a faultless precision over their lifetime. However, this precision can be altered by disturbances occurring during the functioning time, such as friction, lubricant drying, or wear, ...

Roadmap on optical rogue waves and extreme events

The pioneering paper 'Optical rogue waves' by Solli et al (2007 Nature 450 1054) started the new subfield in optics. This work launched a great deal of activity on this novel subject. As a result, the initial concept has expanded and has been enriched by n ...

Mind The Gap : Tip Leakage Vortex Dynamics and Cavitation in Axial Turbines

Matthieu Dreyer

The tip leakage vortex (TLV), which develops in the clearance between the blade tip and the casing of axial turbomachines, appears in many industrial applications, such as air transportation, space rockets and hydraulic machines. In the latter, cavitation ...

Energetic particle instabilities in fusion plasmas

Ambrogio Fasoli, Mario Ludovico Podesta

Remarkable progress has been made in diagnosing energetic particle instabilities on present-day machines and in establishing a theoretical framework for describing them. This overview describes the much improved diagnostics of Alfven instabilities and mode ...

Observation of shell effects in superconducting nanoparticles of Sn

Klaus Kern

In a zero-dimensional superconductor, quantum size effects(1,2) (QSE) not only set the limit to superconductivity, but are also at the heart of new phenomena such as shell effects, which have been predicted to result in large enhancements of the supercondu ...

Full-body illusions and minimal phenomenal selfhood

Olaf Blanke

We highlight the latest research on body perception and self-consciousness, but argue that despite these achievements, central aspects have remained unexplored, namely, global aspects of bodily self-consciousness. Researchers investigated central represent ...

SEWDarkM

Mikhail Chapochnikov

A number of observed phenomena in high energy physics and cosmology lack their resolution within the Standard Model of particle physics. These puzzles include neutrino oscillations, baryon asymmetry of the Universe, existence of Dark Matter and inflation. ...

Perceived speed differences explain apparent compression in slit viewing

Michael Herzog

When a figure moves behind a stationary narrow slit, observers often report seeing the figure as an integrated whole, a phenomenon known as slit viewing or anorthoscopic perception. Interestingly, in slit viewing, the figure is perceived compressed along t ...

Modélisation analytique multiphysique pour la conception optimale de moteurs synchrones à aimants permanents

Patrick Ragot

During the last years, permanent magnets synchronous motors have become a reference in the industrial world, both from the economical and the technical point of view, because of their very good performance in both regards. Thus, application of specific met ...

About the influence of friction and polydispersity on the jamming behavior of bead assemblies

Thomas Liebling, Lionel Pournin, Marco Ramaioli

We study the jamming of bead assemblies placed in a cylindrical container whose bottom is pierced with a circular hole. Their jamming behavior is quantified here by the mean critical diameter, that is the diameter of the hole for which the jamming probabil ...

Analysis of large scale hydrodynamic phenomena in turbine draft tubes

Monica Iliescu

Hydraulic power is a renewable energy with a very advantageous price, and its flexibility of use coupled with its storage possibilities easily enables to meet the peak demand. Refurbishment of old hydraulic power plants is an important topical issue and th ...
