Abstract: Active matter defines a class of far-away-from-equilibrium systems comprising self-driven microparticles. Their anomalous physical properties could be applied in areas such as mixing or separation, micropumps, and self-healing materials. To realize such applications, a thorough… read more here.

Abstract: Clouds between -39° and 0°C can be topped by a liquid or ice layer, which affects their radiative forcing and precipitation. The cloud-top ice-to-total frequency (ITF) quantifies the occurrence of clouds with an ice top… read more here.
