Abstract
A liquid drop impacting a non-wetting rigid substrate spreads, retracts and rebounds, while an elastic sphere deforms slightly and bounces off. This work bridges these two limits and offers a framework for liquid-to-elastic transitions.

Abstract
A theoretical study of the IEDDA reaction of endo-BCN with 2H-pyran-2-one, 2H-thiopyran-2-one, 2H-pyran-2-thione and 2H-thiopyran-2-thione reveals the superior reactivity of 2H-pyran-2-thiones because of the lower distortion energy.

Abstract
In this review, we provide a comprehensive overview of the synthesis of thiopyran family compounds via cycloaddition reactions, with examples spanning from the year 2000 to the present.

Abstract
While freezing a double-emulsion, sudden topological transitions of compound droplets are observed caused by partial solidification, triggering liquid-to-vapor phase transitions.

Abstract
The Mpemba effect is not well defined, as it does not distinguish between an initially hot water sample reaching 0 °C before an initially cold one or an initially cold sample supercooling and entering its phase transition after an initially hot one.
