We show that n thermal fermionic alkaline-earth atoms in a flat-bottom trap allow one to robustly implement a spin model displaying two symmetries: the Sn
Understanding shear thickening presents a significant challenge in colloidal physics. As the applied shear pushes particles into close contact, the macroscopic
This contribution presents recent advances in imaging control conditions for transmission scanning electron microscopy (t-SEM) by means of angularly-selective
