Slipping mechanics during walking along curved paths depend on the biomechanical context at slip onset

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2022
Curvilinear walking is common, causing limb- and radius-dependent asymmetries that distinguish it from straight walking and elevated friction demands that increase slip-and-fall risk.

Superfluid spin transport in magnetically ordered solids

open access: yes, 2020
The paper reviews the theory of the long-distance spin superfluid transport in solid ferro- and antiferromagnets based on the analysis of the topology, the Landau criterion, and phase slips.

Thermal conductance as a probe of the non-local order parameter for a topological superconductor with gauge fluctuations [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
We investigate the effect of quantum phase slips on a helical quantum wire coupled to a superconductor by proximity. The effective low-energy description of the wire is that of a Majorana chain minimally coupled to a dynamical $\mathbb{Z}_2$ gauge field.

Apparent Contact Angles on Lubricant-Impregnated Surfaces/SLIPS: From Superhydrophobicity to Electrowetting.

open access: yesLangmuir, 2019
A fundamental limitation of liquids on many surfaces is their contact line pinning. This limitation can be overcome by infusing a nonvolatile and immiscible liquid or lubricant into the texture or roughness created in or applied onto the solid substrate ...

Decay of superfluid currents in a moving system of strongly interacting bosons [PDF]

open access: yes, 2005
We analyze the stability and decay of supercurrents of strongly interacting bosons on optical lattices. At the mean-field level, the system undergoes an irreversible dynamic phase transition, whereby the current decays beyond a critical phase gradient ...

Energy-level quantization and single-photon control of phase slips in YBa2Cu3O7–x nanowires

open access: yesNature Communications, 2020
Significant progress has been made in superconducting quantum circuits. However new quantum devices that have longer decoherence times at higher temperatures are urgently required for quantum technologies.

Slip-Resistance Performance of Basketball Shoes Tread Patterns on Common Courts

open access: yesApplied Mechanics
Basketball requires intense movements like jumping and sudden changes in direction, increasing the risk of slips and falls due to poor shoe–court traction. Therefore, a significant demand is for good traction performance in basketball shoes, particularly

Stimulated quantum phase slips from weak electromagnetic radiations in superconducting nanowires

open access: yes, 2015
We study the rate of quantum phase slips in an ultranarrow superconducting nanowire exposed to weak electromagnetic radiations. The superconductor is in the dirty limit close to the superconducting-insulating transition, where fluxoids move in strong ...

When Ultimate Adhesive Mechanism Meets Ultimate Anti‐Fouling Surfaces—Polydopamine Versus SLIPS: Which One Prevails?

open access: yesAdvanced Materials Interfaces, 2020
What happens when the extremely adhesive and versatile chemistry of polydopamine (PDA) is in contact with the extremely slippery surfaces known as slippery liquid‐infused porous substrates (SLIPS)?

The Influence of Fatigue, Recovery, and Environmental Factors on the Body Stability of Construction Workers

open access: yesSensors
In the construction industry, falls, slips, and trips (FST) account for 42.3% of all accidents. The primary cause of FST incidents is directly related to the deterioration of workers’ body stability.
