We review recent advances in the theoretical, numerical, and experimental studies of critical
Casimir forces in soft matter, with particular emphasis on their relevance for the structures of …

The world of nanoscales in fluidics is the frontier where the continuum of fluid mechanics
meets the atomic, and even quantum, nature of matter. While water dynamics remains …

Colloids immersed in a critical binary liquid mixture are subject to critical Casimir forces
(CCFs) because they confine its concentration fluctuations and influence the latter via …

Understanding how electrolyte solutions behave out of thermal equilibrium is a long-
standing endeavor in many areas of chemistry and biology. Although mean-field theories …

Starting from the stochastic equation for the density operator, we formulate the exact
(instantaneous) stress tensor for interacting Brownian particles and show that its average …

We compute fluctuation-induced (Casimir) forces for classical systems after a temperature
quench. Using a generic coarse-grained model for fluctuations of a conserved density, we …

We present a simple and systematic procedure to determine the effective dynamics of a
Brownian particle coupled to a rapidly fluctuating correlated medium, modeled as a scalar …

We investigate the dynamics of thermal Casimir interactions between plates described
within a living conductor model, with embedded mobile anions and cations, whose density …

Nonequilibrium systems with conserved quantities like density or momentum are known to
exhibit long-ranged correlations. This, in turn, leads to long-ranged fluctuation-induced …

We theoretically study the phenomenon of propulsion through Casimir forces in thermal
nonequilibrium. Using fluctuational electrodynamics, we derive a formula for the propulsion …
