Liu, and Douglas J. Durian, University of Pennsylvania, to discuss their recently published Physical Review Applied paper: "Demonstration of Decentralized Physics-Driven Learning." Registration is free and a recording will be provided to all registrants »     Advertisement Sign up for the latest APS Science Trust Project training The APS Science Trust Project was born out of member-demand to address misinformation about science, which has been increasing due to the broad accessibility of various streams of communication. This free virtual workshop, held on 4 consecutive Tuesdays, starting on November 29, 1:00 - 3:00 p.m. ET, via Zoom, will focus on climate change misinformation, but the skills and methods are appropriate for addressing a wide range of misinformation topics.

E 106, 040001 (2022) – Published 11 October 2022   Editors' Suggestion Freezing phase transition in hard-core lattice gases on the triangular lattice with exclusion up to seventh next-nearest neighbor Asweel Ahmed A. Jaleel, Dipanjan Mandal, Jetin E. Thomas, and R. Rajesh Phys. Rev. E 106, 044136 (2022) – Published 26 October 2022 Hard-core lattice gases are simple models that exhibit a phase transition, and that have applications in various areas of research. This paper uses a Monte Carlo algorithm to study these models with up to seventh neighbor exclusion on a triangular lattice, finding improvements over previous results.     Featured in Physics Complexity emerges in measures of the marking dynamics in football games A. Chacoma, O. V. Billoni, and M. N. Kuperman Phys. Rev. E 106, 044308 (2022) – Published 28 October 2022 Synopsis:No Hiding Place for Lazy Soccer Defenders Network theory can show how successfully a soccer team performs when it's on the defense.     Editors' Suggestion Phase separation and critical size in molecular sorting Elisa Floris, Andrea Piras, Francesco Saverio Pezzicoli, Marco Zamparo, Luca Dall'Asta, and Andrea Gamba Phys. Rev. E 106, 044412 (2022) – Published 27 October 2022 Cells can produce small vesicles containing specific proteins by concentrating the proteins in a domain, which then detaches from the cell membrane. This work proposes a link between the size of domains that successfully form such vesicles and the critical size for domain growth in the theory of phase separation.     Editors' Suggestion Rectangle-triangle soft-matter quasicrystals with hexagonal symmetry Andrew J. Archer, Tomonari Dotera, and Alastair M. Rucklidge Phys. Rev. E 106, 044602 (2022) – Published 13 October 2022 This paper describes an investigation of soft-matter quasicrystals with hexagonal symmetry. Examining two different examples of rectangle-triangle tilings, the authors demonstrate how to design stable aperiodic soft-matter systems containing two length scales. Their work suggests ways to find a wider variety of quasicrystals in soft matter systems.     Featured in Physics Hydrodynamic theory of two-dimensional incompressible polar active fluids with quenched and annealed disorder Leiming Chen, Chiu Fan Lee, Ananyo Maitra, and John Toner Phys. Rev. E 106, 044608 (2022) – Published 27 October 2022 Synopsis:"Dirt" Is No Barrier to Flocking   Featured in Physics Exact solutions for viscous Marangoni spreading Thomas Bickel and François Detcheverry Phys. Rev. E 106, 045107 (2022) – Published 18 October 2022 Synopsis:How Soap Molecules Move Over Water Researchers can now predict exactly how soap molecules spread across a body of water, an everyday but surprisingly complex process.       American Physical Society: 1 Physics Ellipse, College Park, MD 20740 ©2022 American Physical Society | All rights reserved   You are receiving this email because you are subscribed to Table of Content alerts.
