Photometric decision making during the dawn choruses of cicadas

Rakesh Khanna A., Raymond E. Goldstein, Adriana I. Pesci, and Nir S. Gov

Phys. Rev. E 112, 024401 (2025) - Published 1 August, 2025

In this quantitative study of cicada dawn choruses across various natural habitats, the authors analyze their temporal dynamics and sensitivity to changing light. They find that choruses begin at a specific solar elevation and reach full intensity within 60 seconds, reflecting coordinated acoustic decision making.

Parrondo's paradox in tumor ecosystems: Adaptive therapy strategies to delay the development of drug resistance

De-Ming Liu, Yi-Yang Liu, Zhi-Xi Wu, and Jian-Yue Guan

Phys. Rev. E 112, 024404 (2025) - Published 6 August, 2025

This work investigates how alternating high-dose and low-dose chemotherapy could affect development of drug resistance. The authors study a three-component tumor system and find that alternating administration of high-dose and low-dose therapy can significantly delay the development of drug resistance compared to separate administration of either therapy, an outcome akin to Parrondo’s paradox.

Statistical mechanics of support vector regression

Abdulkadir Canatar and SueYeon Chung

Phys. Rev. E 112, 025301 (2025) - Published 4 August, 2025

Placed at the intersection of theoretical neuroscience, machine learning, and statistical physics, this work extends earlier approaches to continuous decoding, presenting a geometric analysis of discriminability under neural variability. The results help understand how representational geometry governs task performance.

Souvenir collector's walk: The distribution of the number of steps of a continuous-time random walk ending at a given position

Igor M. Sokolov

Phys. Rev. E 112, 024101 (2025) - Published 1 August, 2025

In a continuous-time random walk a walker waits between steps, with a given distribution of the waiting times and step lengths. The author studies the distribution of the number of steps a walker has taken in order to be found at a certain position at a given long time. The results show universal behavior, and are different for the cases of subdiffusion and normal diffusion.

Wang-Landau study of lattice gases on geodesic grids

Gabriele Costa and Santi Prestipino

Phys. Rev. E 112, 024108 (2025) - Published 5 August, 2025

Particles on the surface of a sphere can self-assemble to form various patterns, depending on the particle interactions and external conditions. In this paper, lattice gases on spherical grids are analyzed, and a number of possible patterns are found. The results may be relevant for the synthesis of patchy colloidal microparticles.

Efficiency-fluctuation trade-offs in biomolecular assembly processes

Brayden Kell and Andreas Hilfinger

Phys. Rev. E 112, 024403 (2025) - Published 4 August, 2025

This numerical study shows that the trade-off between efficiency and fluctuations in molecular assembly holds across a much broader range of systems than previously known. It also identifies distinct control of subunit production with feedback as a necessary condition to avoid large fluctuations at high efficiency.

Integrating coarse-grained simulations and machine learning to uncover protein aging mechanisms

Yi-fan Wang, Chun-lai Ren, and Yu-qiang Ma

Phys. Rev. E 112, 024412 (2025) - Published 21 August, 2025

Aging of biomolecular condensates, a phenomenon increasingly recognized in recent experiments, is a multiscale phenomenon that can impact the condensate’s biological function. The authors employ coarse-grained simulations integrated with machine learning techniques to analyze structural and sequence-specific effects underlying the liquid-to-solid transition associated with the aging process.

Active gel theory for cell migration with two myosin isoforms

Nils O. Winkler, Oliver M. Drozdowski, Falko Ziebert, and Ulrich S. Schwarz

Phys. Rev. E 112, 024413 (2025) - Published 26 August, 2025

Using a one-dimensional active gel model of cell migration with two myosin II isoforms, A and B, this study reproduces the experimentally observed polarization of the isoforms and identifies a pitchfork bifurcation yielding three distinct migration modes, thereby linking molecular properties to large-scale cell behavior.

Fast matter-antimatter separation via Weibel-induced plasma filamentation

Oliver Mathiak, Lars Reichwein, and Alexander Pukhov

Phys. Rev. E 112, 025208 (2025) - Published 20 August, 2025

The separation of matter and antimatter in a plasma can be driven by the growth of the Weibel instability. The authors show this effect in a plasma of protons and antiprotons with a relativistic stream of electrons and positrons, by means of particle-in-cell simulations supported by analytical considerations.

Curvature effects in the reaction-diffusion system governing frontal polymerization

Minjiang Zhu, Derrick M. Sanders, Yun Seong Kim, Rohan Shah, Mohammad Tanver Hossain, Randy H. Ewoldt, Sameh H. Tawfick, and Philippe H. Geubelle

Phys. Rev. E 112, 025410 (2025) - Published 7 August, 2025

This work demonstrates that concave polymerization fronts exhibit higher temperatures and faster propagation speeds, while convex fronts slow down and can quench beyond a critical curvature. These numerical estimates, validated experimentally, establish how front geometry governs reaction kinetics and curing efficiency in thermoset polymers.

Polydispersity-driven dynamical differences between two- and three-dimensional supercooled liquids

Ilian Pihlajamaa, Lotte S. van Gessel, Corentin C. L. Laudicina, Luc J. van Burik, and Liesbeth M. C. Janssen

Phys. Rev. E 112, 025417 (2025) - Published 21 August, 2025

Contrary to existing assumptions, this study shows that particle-size-dependent relaxation dynamics in supercooled polydisperse liquids differ significantly between two and three dimensions. In three dimensions, small and large particles relax at distinct rates, while in two dimensions, their dynamics remain coupled, indicating a dimensional dependence in microscopic relaxation behavior.

Phys. Rev. E 112, 025418 (2025) - Published 21 August, 2025

Supervised machine learning methods are emerging as valid alternatives to standard mathematical methods for identifying knots in polymers. The authors demonstrate the ability of a hybrid supervised-generative machine learning algorithm to capture different topological features of entangled filaments and to exploit this knowledge to faithfully reconstruct or produce new knotted configurations without simulations.
