HIGHLIGHTED ARTICLES

FEATURED IN PHYSICS

Scaling laws and representation learning in simple hierarchical languages: Transformers versus convolutional architectures

Francesco Cagnetta, Alessandro Favero, Antonio Sclocchi, and Matthieu Wyart

Phys. Rev. E 112, 065312 (2025) - Published 23 December, 2025

Transformers are a type of machine learning architecture. The authors investigate in this study how they can acquire an understanding of language structure when trained via next-token prediction. Notably, the authors find that when the data exhibit hierarchical structure, convolutional neural networks actually learn the task more efficiently than transformers. #MachineLearningSpotlight

EDITORS' SUGGESTION

Class of exclusion processes capable of exhibiting current reversal

Ngo Phuoc Nguyen Ngoc and Lam Thi Nhung

Phys. Rev. E 112, 064108 (2025) - Published 4 December, 2025

The authors introduce a class of generalized exclusion processes, modeling particles performing random walks on a one-dimensional lattice while obeying exclusion constraints. They provide a unifying framework for several such processes and highlight their rich dynamical properties.

From lines to networks

Marc Barthelemy

Phys. Rev. E 112, 064304 (2025) - Published 5 December, 2025

This study presents a novel model for spatial networks generated from intersecting lines. It is based on a principle of growth present in various real systems such as transportation networks, fungal hyphae, and vascular structures.

EDITORS' SUGGESTION

Nonlocal dielectric response of aqueous electrolytes and decay behavior of ionic correlations

Ming Chen, Guang Feng, Roland Kjellander, and Alexei A. Kornyshev

Phys. Rev. E 112, 065407 (2025) - Published 2 December, 2025

By combining nonlocal electrostatics, dressed ion theory, and advanced molecular dynamics simulations, this study provides a comprehensive framework for understanding ionic correlations and solvation effects in dense electrolytes. It has implications across soft matter, electrochemistry, and energy storage applications.

Geometrically frustrated assembly at finite temperature: Phase transitions from self-limiting to bulk states

Nicholas W. Hackney and Gregory Grason

Phys. Rev. E 112, 065419 (2025) - Published 15 December, 2025

This is a comprehensive analysis of a lattice Hamiltonian designed to investigate geometrically frustrated assembly. The work sheds light on self-limiting assembly and results in a frustration-concentration phase diagram.

Minimax entropy: The statistical physics of optimal models

David P. Carcamo, Nicholas J. Weaver, Purushottam D. Dixit, and Christopher W. Lynn

Phys. Rev. E 112, 061001 (2025) - Published 3 December, 2025

When describing the world, one seeks models with as few details as possible that are as accurate as possible; that is, one seeks good compressions. To solve this compression problem, the authors illustrate the minimax entropy principle (a direct generalization of the maximum entropy principle) and survey promising applications.
