Observation of a Prethermal U(1) Discrete Time Crystal by Stasiuk, Andrew, Cappellaro, Paola

“…Recent theoretical work has developed the notion of prethermalization without temperature, expanding the class of time-crystal systems to explain time-crystalline observations at (or near) infinite temperature. In this work, we conclusively observe the emergence of a prethermal U(1) time-crystalline state at quasi-infinite temperature in a solid-state NMR quantum emulator by verifying the requisites of prethermalization without temperature. …”

Lattice Green’s Functions for High-Order Finite Difference Stencils by Gabbard, James, van Rees, Wim M.

“…Through numerical experiments we demonstrate that these techniques provide LGF evaluations with near machine-precision accuracy, and that the resulting LGFs allow for numerically consistent solutions to high-order discretizations of the Poisson's equation on fully or partially unbounded 3D domains.…”

Determination of short-range order in TiVNbHf(Al) by Xu, Michael, Wei, Shaolou, Tasan, C Cem, LeBeau, James M

“…To overcome the difficulties of short-range order (SRO) quantification with STEM when the components of an alloy exhibit large atomic number differences and near equiatomic ratios, “null hypothesis” tests are used to separate experiment from a random chemical distribution. …”

Review of Experimental Work in Biomimetic Foils by Triantafyllou, Michael S., Techet, Alexandra H., Hover, Franz S.

“…This review focuses primarily on experimental studies on some of the, at least partially understood, mechanisms, which include 1) the formation of streets of vortices around and behind two- and three-dimensional propulsive oscillating foils; 2) the formation of vortical structures around and behind two- and three-dimensional foils used for maneuvering, hovering, or fast-starting; 3) the formation of leading-edge vortices in flapping foils, under steady flapping or transient conditions; 4) the interaction of foils with oncoming, externally generated vorticity; multiple foils, or foils operating near a body or wall.…”

Effect of Madden Julian oscillation on convectively coupled equatorial waves by Dobriyal, Ritvik

“…Greater effect of MJO on CCEW is noticed over the zonal extent in which the convective component of MJO is strong, ranging from the Indian Ocean to western Pacific Ocean (nearly 60°E to 180°). MJO is also found to affect CCEW over Africa and near South America if wave activity peaks in these regions, however the effect is nearly half as strong or weaker. …”
