  Generalized exceptional points in nonlinear and stochastic dynamics

  We study a class of bifurcations generically occurring in dynamical systems with nonmutual couplings ranging from models of coupled neurons to predator-prey systems and nonlinear oscillators. In these bifurcations, extended attractors such as (...)

  Nonreciprocally coupled spin glasses: Exceptional-point-mediated phase transitions and aging

  Disordered systems can exhibit a dramatic slowdown of their dynamics called aging. Contrary to the established understanding that this phenomenon is destroyed by nonreciprocal interactions, we here show that the outcome crucially depends on the (...)

  Nonreciprocal Spin-Glass Transition and Aging

  Disordered systems generically exhibit aging and a glass transition. Previous studies have long suggested that non-reciprocity tends to destroy glassiness. Here, we show that this is not always the case using a bipartite spherical (...)

  pH-Dependent Interfacial Rheology of Polymer Membranes Assembled at Liquid–Liquid Interfaces Using Hydrogen Bonds

  Self-assembly of polymers at liquid interfaces using noncovalent interactions has emerged as a promising technique to reversibly produce self-healing membranes. Besides the assembly process, it is also crucial to control the mechanical (...)

  Nonlocal Dielectric Properties of Water: The Role of Electronic Delocalization

  The nonlocal dielectric properties of liquid water are studied in the context of ab initio molecular dynamics (AIMD) simulations based on the density functional theory. We calculate the dielectric response from the charge structure factor of (...)

  Stokes flows in three-dimensional fluids with odd and parity-violating viscosities – CORRIGENDUM

  The following corrections should be made to the paper Khain et al. (Reference Khain, Scheibner, Fruchart and Vitelli2022). The conclusions of the paper are not affected. «Journal Of Fluid Mechanics» BY: Tali Khain, Colin Scheibner, Michel (...)

  Sociohydrodynamics: Data-driven modeling of social behavior

  Living systems display complex behaviors driven by physical forces as well as decision-making. Hydrodynamic theories hold promise for simplified universal descriptions of socially generated collective behaviors. However, the construction of (...)

  Active elastic solids : collective motion, collective actuation & polarization

  Active solids consist of elastically coupled out-of-equilibrium units performing work. They are central to autonomous processes in biological systems, e.g. locomotion, self-oscillations and morphogenesis. Moreover, their shape-preserving (...)

  Learning general pair interactions between self-propelled particles

  Synthetic active matter systems, such as active colloids, often have complex interactions, which can be of hydrodynamic, chemical or electrostatic origin and cannot be computed from first principles. Here, we use Stochastic Force Inference to (...)

  Reactive mixing enables enzymatic depolymerization of recalcitrant or unsortable polyester wastes

  Enzyme-catalyzed depolymerization allows efficient recycling of poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET) bottles, which are easy to sort and made of slowly crystallizing PET. However, because crystalline phases are recalcitrant to enzymatic (...)
