Arrested soft materials such as gels and glasses exhibit a slow stress relaxation with a broad
distribution of relaxation times in response to linear mechanical perturbations. Although this …

We present an experimental study of the global velocity V (t) of a viscous fluid interface
during forced-flow imbibition in a disordered medium. Our high resolution setup shows that …

Critical Casimir interactions represent a perfect example of bath-induced forces at
mesoscales. These forces may have a relevant role in the living systems as well as a role in …

(TaSe 4) 2 I is a well-studied quasi-one-dimensional compound long-known to have a
charge-density wave (CDW) transition around 263 K. We argue that the critical fluctuations …

We probe the presence of long-range correlations in phase fluctuations by analyzing the
higher-order spectrum of resistance fluctuations in ultrathin NbN superconducting films. The …

Critical properties throughout science are popularly associated with heavy-tailed
distributions, but experimental evidence indicates several alternative, and very different …

We report on the dramatic slowing down of the charge carrier dynamics in a quasi-two-
dimensional organic conductor, which can be reversibly tuned through the Mott metal …

Rare events appear in a wide variety of phenomena such as rainfall, floods, earthquakes,
and risk.<? format?> We demonstrate that the stochastic behavior induced by the natural …

We probe the existence of large correlated non-Gaussian phase fluctuations in the vicinity of
the superconducting phase transition in the conducting layer residing at the interface of …

We study the fluctuations of the global velocity V l (t), computed at various length scales l,
during the intermittent mode-I propagation of a crack front. The statistics converge to a non …
