Stars are often found in close binary systems, and gaseous giant planets in the solar system are surrounded by moons. Tides are raised in the bodies in these systems, and their dissipation plays a major role in shaping the orbits. The dissipation rate is very well constrained by observations. For ...

Dry and wet layers on a wall are the surface manifestation of equilibrium liquid-vapour phase transitions. Active liquids are disordered nonequilibrium systems that dissipate energy locally, able to produce phase separation in the absence of attractive interactions. We connect the emergent motility-induced separation of model active liquids with effective many-body ...
