HIGHLIGHTED ARTICLES

FEATURED IN PHYSICS

EDITORS' SUGGESTION

Stochastic model for the turbulent ocean heat flux under Arctic sea ice

S. Toppaladoddi and A. J. Wells

Phys. Rev. E 111, 025101 (2025) - Published 12 February, 2025

Arctic sea ice is one of the most sensitive components of the Earth’s climate system, and it is difficult to predict its evolution because of challenges in modeling the effects of the underlying ocean. The authors develop a simplified stochastic model for the turbulent heat flux from the ocean to the ice that shows good agreement with observational data.

EDITORS' SUGGESTION

Protocol dependence for avalanches under constant stress in elastoplastic models

Tristan Jocteur, Eric Bertin, Romain Mari, and Kirsten Martens

Phys. Rev. E 111, 024101 (2025) - Published 3 February, 2025

Amorphous solids, for example glasses and granular materials, display intermittent plastic deformation events known as avalanches near the yielding transition. It is typically assumed that the characteristics of the avalanches do not depend on the driving protocol (e.g., controlling strain or stress). The two-dimensional simulations of an elastoplastic model presented in this study highlight the complex interplay between the initial elastic state, the driving protocol, and the dynamics of avalanche propagation, thus challenging the assumption of universality of the avalanche statistics.

EDITORS' SUGGESTION

Expected correlation in time-series analysis

Theodore MacMillan, James P. Hilditch, and Nicholas T. Ouellette

Phys. Rev. E 111, 024121 (2025) - Published 14 February, 2025

The authors show that there is often an inevitable degree of expected order and predictability in time series. In particular, there is a lower bound on the expected correlation time that increases with the length of the series. This result shows that a certain degree of correlation is induced when time-series data is aggregated, quantifying a possible source of bias towards high correlations.

EDITORS' SUGGESTION

Data-driven discovery of self-similarity using neural networks

Ryota Watanabe, Takanori Ishii, Yuji Hirono, and Hirokazu Maruoka

Phys. Rev. E 111, 024301 (2025) - Published 3 February, 2025

This study introduces a method based on neural networks to discover self-similarity in physical systems. Traditional methods employ assumed models, while here the authors are able to identify the self-similarity parameters from data directly and extract the exponents characterizing the scale-transformation symmetries. The method can be put to use with any self-similar physical system, with potential applications in various areas, for example materials science and fluid dynamics.

EDITORS' SUGGESTION

Ligand-induced receptor multimerization achieves specificity enhancement of kinetic proofreading without associated costs

Duncan Kirby and Anton Zilman

Phys. Rev. E 111, 024408 (2025) - Published 20 February, 2025

This paper investigates models of two mechanisms used by cells to enhance specificity of signaling pathways. In the kinetic proofreading mechanism, the ligand-bound receptor must pass through a sequence of states before reaching the signaling state. In the multimeric receptor signaling mechanism, receptor subunits are bound by a multivalent ligand to form a signaling complex. A key result of this paper is that the multimeric receptor is capable of achieving the same maximum specificity as the kinetic proofreading receptor.

EDITORS' SUGGESTION

Role of cellular filamentation in bacterial aggregation and cluster-cluster assembly

Samuel Charlton, Gavin Melaugh, Davide Marenduzzo, Cait MacPhee, and Eleonora Secchi

Phys. Rev. E 111, 024410 (2025) - Published 25 February, 2025

This experimental and computational study examines factors that control aggregation dynamics and cluster-cluster assembly of filamentous and nonfilamentous bacteria. Results should be of interest for practical applications, such as bioreactors and water remediation, in which aggregation is a key step in the process.

EDITORS' SUGGESTION

Multimotor cargo navigation in microtubule networks with various mesh sizes

Mason Grieb, Nimisha Krishnan, and Jennifer L. Ross

Phys. Rev. E 111, 024413 (2025) - Published 27 February, 2025

This experimental study examines kinesin-driven transport using quantum-dot-based cargoes in dense microtubule networks. Results show that increasing motor number and network density enhances cargo distance, association time, and speed. These findings highlight how motor number and network density can physically regulate cargo movement.

EDITORS' SUGGESTION

Discrete generative diffusion models without stochastic differential equations: A tensor network approach

Luke Causer, Grant M. Rotskoff, and Juan P. Garrahan

Phys. Rev. E 111, 025302 (2025) - Published 7 February, 2025

In machine learning, diffusion models are a paradigm for generative modeling. This study introduces a novel approach applicable to discrete systems using tensor networks. This allows modeling the diffusion process exactly, eliminating the need for stochastic differential equations. Integrating the above with Markov-chain Monte Carlo, the authors are able to learn efficient nonlocal proposal updates, in turn leading to effective sampling of complex Boltzmann-like distributions. The combined framework presented here has promise particularly for rare-event sampling.

EDITORS' SUGGESTION

Polymer dynamics under tension: Mean first passage time for looping

Wout Laeremans, Anne Floor den Ouden, Jef Hooyberghs, and Wouter G. Ellenbroek

Phys. Rev. E 111, 025401 (2025) - Published 3 February, 2025

Previous studies on the formation of loops in polymers under tension relied on barrier escape methods to predict looping times. This work revisits the problem, deriving a scaling law for freely jointed chains under tension, and demonstrating that the looping time inversely scales with the equilibrium looping probability.

EDITORS' SUGGESTION

Dynamics of fluid-driven fractures across material heterogeneities

Sri Savya Tanikella, Marie C. Sigallon, and Emilie Dressaire

Phys. Rev. E 111, 025504 (2025) - Published 28 February, 2025

Macroscopic heterogeneities in a material can greatly influence the propagation of a fracture inside it. To study this, the authors experimentally investigate fracture profiles formed by injection of a fluid into a two-layer hydrogel block. They propose a theoretical model based on scaling arguments that yields good agreement with the experimental results.

LETTER

Nonequilibrium thermodynamic foundation of the grand-potential phase field model

Jin Zhang, James A. Warren, and Peter W. Voorhees

Phys. Rev. E 111, L022104 (2025) - Published 25 February, 2025

In the context of the nonequilibrium thermodynamics of phase field models, ensuring that energy decreases during evolution is critical for thermodynamic consistency. Contrary to the common understanding of grand-potential phase field models, the authors show that it is the Helmholtz energy that decreases during evolution rather than the grand potential. This finding is relevant for assuring thermodynamic consistency of phase field models and their computational implementations.

PERSPECTIVES

PERSPECTIVE

Dynamical properties and mechanisms of metastability: A perspective in neuroscience

Kalel L. Rossi, Roberto C. Budzinski, Everton S. Medeiros, Bruno R. R. Boaretto, Lyle Muller, and Ulrike Feudel

Phys. Rev. E 111, 021001 (2025) - Published 13 February, 2025

It is well known that neuroscience and the physics of nonlinear systems are intimately related. In this Perspective, the authors discuss metastable regimes, long-lived but transient epochs of activity with unique dynamical properties, in the context of neuroscience. They discuss both spontaneous and driven metastability in nonlinear science and connect it with corresponding phenomena described in the neuroscience literature. The exploration of observations, formulations, and mechanisms of metastability reported here should lead to a better understanding of metastable brain dynamics.
