Flow generation via catastrophic loss of equilibrium in weakly rotating self-gravitating fluids: A minimal idealized model [0.03%]
L Gudushauri,N L Shatashvili,G Shekiladze et al.
L Gudushauri et al.
This paper explores the catastrophic energy transformations, in particular the ones leading to the generation of a flow in a weakly rotating self-gravitating fluid/gas found, for instance, in the vicinity of a massive compact object. Becaus...
Landau-de Gennes modeling of confinement effects and cybotactic clusters in bent-core nematic liquid crystals [0.03%]
Yucen Han,Prabakaran Rajamanickam,Bedour Alturki et al.
Yucen Han et al.
We study bent-core nematic (BCN) systems in two-dimensional (2D) and three-dimensional (3D) settings, focusing on the role of cybotactic clusters, phase transitions, confinement effects, and applied external fields. We propose a generalized...

The traditional Mpemba effect refers to an anomalous cooling phenomenon when an initial hotter system cools down faster than an initial warm system. Such counterintuitive behavior has been confirmed and explored across phase transitions in ...
Screeching sound of peeling tape [0.03%]
Er Qiang Li,Paul W Riker,Sriram Rengarajan et al.
Er Qiang Li et al.
The screeching of peeling tape is a familiar albeit annoying sound. However, despite decades of study, its source has remained elusive. Herein we demonstrate that this sound is produced by a discrete train of weak shocks emanating from the ...

Qinghua Wu et al.
Using event-driven molecular dynamics simulations, we investigate the crystallization of hard spheres confined within ellipsoidal cavities and find that the curvature anisotropy of the confining boundary governs both nucleation and growth d...
Lindblad many-body scars [0.03%]
Antonio M García-García,Zhongling Lu,Lucas Sá et al.
Antonio M García-García et al.
Quantum many-body scars have received much recent attention for being both intriguing nonergodic states in otherwise quantum chaotic systems and promising candidates to encode quantum information efficiently. So far, these studies have most...
Predicting statistics of gene translocation events: Role of chromatin compaction and double-strand DNA break [0.03%]
Anirudh Jairam,Shuvadip Dutta,Sangram Kadam et al.
Anirudh Jairam et al.
Chromosomal translocations, arising from unresolved double-stranded DNA breaks (DSBs), play a central role in genome instability and evolution. A prevailing hypothesis suggests that the probability of translocation between two chromatin seg...

In order to investigate locally extractable energy from multipartite entangled pure states, we introduce effective thermodynamics by defining an entanglement-based effective temperature. Based on the effective thermodynamics, we derive an u...
Effects of asymmetric interaction on thermalization: Boundary conditions and asymptotic integrability [0.03%]
Yuqi Han,Yue Liu,Xuan Zhang et al.
Yuqi Han et al.
We investigate thermalization of one-dimensional lattices with asymmetric interactions. For the FPUT-αβ lattices with different boundary conditions, we observe distinct thermalization behaviors. Specifically, we find that the Toda lattice...
Active chain spirograph: Dynamic patterns formed in extensible chains due to follower activity [0.03%]
Sattwik Sadhu,Nitin Kriplani,Anirban Sain et al.
Sattwik Sadhu et al.
Follower activity results in a large variety of conformational and dynamical states in active chains and filaments. These states are formed due to the coupling between chain geometry and the local activity. We study the origin and emergence...
