A terahertz-driven non-equilibrium phase transition in a room temperature atomic vapour (2018)
Journal Article
Wade, C., Marcuzzi, M., Levi, E., Kondo, J., Lesanovsky, I., Adams, C., & Weatherill, K. (2018). A terahertz-driven non-equilibrium phase transition in a room temperature atomic vapour. Nature Communications, 9, 1-7. https://doi.org/10.1038/s41467-018-05597-4

There are few demonstrated examples of phase transitions that may be driven directly by terahertz frequency electric fields, and those that are known require field strengths exceeding 1 MV cm−1. Here we report a non-equilibrium phase transition drive... Read More about A terahertz-driven non-equilibrium phase transition in a room temperature atomic vapour.

Three pillars of sustainability: in search of conceptual origins (2018)
Journal Article

The three pillar conception of (social, economic and environmental) sustainability, commonly represented by three intersecting circles with overall sustainability at the centre, has become ubiquitous. With a view to identifying the genesis and theore... Read More about Three pillars of sustainability: in search of conceptual origins.

Glassy dynamics due to a trajectory phase transition in dissipative Rydberg gases (2018)
Journal Article
Pérez-Espigares, C., Lesanovsky, I., Garrahan, J. P., & Gutiérrez, R. (2018). Glassy dynamics due to a trajectory phase transition in dissipative Rydberg gases. Physical Review A, 98(2), https://doi.org/10.1103/physreva.98.021804

The physics of highly excited Rydberg atoms is governed by blockade or exclusion interactions that hinder the excitation of atoms in the proximity of a previously excited one. This leads to cooperative effects and a relaxation dynamics displaying spa... Read More about Glassy dynamics due to a trajectory phase transition in dissipative Rydberg gases.

The galaxies found in optical surveys fall in two distinct regions of a diagram of optical colour versus absolute magnitude: the red sequence and the blue cloud, with the green valley in between. We show that the galaxies found in a submillimetre sur... Read More about The causes of the red sequence, the blue cloud, the green valley, and the green mountain.

Renal perfusion provides the driving pressure for glomerular filtration and delivers the oxygen and nutrients to fuel solute reabsorption. Renal ischaemia is a major mechanism in acute kidney injury and may promote the progression of chronic kidney d...
