Sphingomyelinase (SMase)-induced ceramide (Cer)-enriched domains in a lipid monolayer are shown to result from an out-of-equilibrium situation. This is induced by a change of composition caused by the enzymatic production ...

It is often assumed that Newton played an important role in shaping Smith’s connection with general economic equilibrium theory. In this essay, the widespread view of Adam Smith as a forerunner of general economic equilibrium ...

Ferrite precipitating around the graphite nodules shaping the typical bull’s-eye microstructure could grow under negligible partitioning local equilibrium or under paraequilibrium conditions, as both imply that ferrite ...

Starting from the Newtonian limit of Einstein's equations in the presence of a positive cosmological constant, we obtain a new version of the virial theorem and a condition for gravitational equilibrium. Such a condition ...

The New Horizons space probe led the first close flyby of one of the most primordial and distant objects left over from the formation of the Solar system, the contact binary Kuiper Belt object (486958) Arrokoth. This is ...
