Dynamical arrest in active nematic turbulence

Ido Lavi, Ricard Alert, Jean-François Joanny, and Jaume Casademunt

Phys. Rev. Research 8, 013294 (2026) - Published 17 March, 2026

Active nematic fluids have been widely studied in regimes teeming with topological defects. But what emerges in their absence? Simulations show that the flow-alignment coupling promotes a striking arrested state, with coherent streams funneled through a treelike network of nematic domain walls; as the nematic healing length increases, defects unbind along these walls and unravel the arrested network.

K. Gofryk, S. Zhou, N. Poudel, N. Dice, D. Murray, T. Pavlov, and C. Marianetti

Phys. Rev. Research 8, L012002 (2026) - Published 5 January, 2026

Using a combination of plasma focused ion beam micromachining, low-temperature magnetotransport measurements, and first-principles calculations, this study demonstrates that PuB $_{6}$ exhibits hallmark characteristics of a topological Kondo insulator, including a transition in electrical resistivity from high-temperature thermally activated behavior, indicative of a narrow gap at the Fermi level, to a distinctive low-temperature resistivity plateau. Furthermore, the observed surface-to-volume dependence of resistivity at low temperatures provides evidence for the presence of topologically protected surface states.

Steady state of periodically driven quantum systems

Milan Šindelka and David Gelbwaser-Klimovsky

Phys. Rev. Research 8, L012008 (2026) - Published 12 January, 2026

Periodic driving is used to steer physical systems to unique steady states. Characterizing the steady state is challenging, and existing results are generally limited to specific types of driving, such as high frequency. This work goes beyond this, deriving general thermalization conditions that constrain the nature of the steady state and the transition rates. Moreover, it is found that the steady state at high enough temperatures is a thermal state for any driving.

Phys. Rev. Research 8, L012012 (2026) - Published 13 January, 2026

The ionization potential of radium monofluoride (RaF) was experimentally determined in agreement with predictions from theory, showing that its dissociation energy is greater than the energy required to remove an electron. This electronic structure places RaF in a group of molecules that possess long-lived Rydberg states that are stable against predissociation.

Superradiant scattering from evanescent waves

M. Pardal, R. A. Fonseca, and J. Vieira

Phys. Rev. Research 8, L012013 (2026) - Published 14 January, 2026

If an electron beam collides with an evanescent mode in a plane, then the beam will radiate collectively as a virtual particle whose position is defined by the beam-plane intersection. This work shows that, under certain conditions, this virtual light source can be superluminal, leading to the formation of Cherenkov-like optical shocks, and demonstrates how an electron beam shaped like a twisted spiral leads to the creation of wormlike radiation patterns at a flat detector.

Joseph Bahder, Hasan Rahman, Matthew D. Sievert, and Ivan Vitev

Phys. Rev. Research 8, L012016 (2026) - Published 16 January, 2026

The impact of sub-eikonal, collective-flow-induced asymmetric jet broadening (jet drift) on hard probe observables is studied in event-by-event $\sqrt{s}$ = 5.02 TeV PbPb collisions at the Large Hadron Collider utilizing the new Anisotropic Parton Evolution computational framework. It is shown that jet drift imparts an enhancement of elliptic flow ( $v$ $_{2}$ ) and increases the mean acoplanarity for low- and intermediate-energy particles ( $p$ $_{T}$ < 10 GeV).

Experimental evidence for invariant solutions mediating transitions from metastable turbulent regimes

B. Vishnu Kiran, Rajath Kashyap, and Balachandra Suri

Phys. Rev. Research 8, L012019 (2026) - Published 22 January, 2026

This study shows that characteristic flow patterns appearing immediately before and during seemingly random transitions between metastable turbulent regimes are signatures of unstable invariant solutions—equilibria or time-periodic orbits—of the equations governing fluid motion. By recognizing turbulence approaching these solutions as a precursor to imminent transitions, a closed-loop control strategy is developed and deployed in laboratory experiments to suppress transitions from metastable turbulent regimes.

Prashant Singh, David A. Kessler, and Eli Barkai

Phys. Rev. Research 8, L012023 (2026) - Published 26 January, 2026

A Sokoban-like active particle reshapes its disordered environment by pushing obstacles, dynamically creating transport lanes, and modifying classic paradigms such as the ant-in-the-labyrinth problem. This work uncovers a self-trapping mechanism in which the particle generates its own cages, leading to localization even at low obstacle densities and explaining the absence of a percolation transition.

Defect-driven incoherent skin localization

Emmanouil T. Kokkinakis, Konstantinos G. Makris, and Eleftherios N. Economou

Phys. Rev. Research 8, L012024 (2026) - Published 26 January, 2026

Wave propagation in non-Hermitian lattices under dephasing is studied, and lossy defects are shown to give rise to a dynamical non-Hermitian skin effect characterized by boundary accumulation of optical intensity, even in lattices with reciprocal couplings. Further analysis demonstrates how this defect-driven skin localization competes with the incoherent non-Hermitian skin effect arising from asymmetric hopping.

Phys. Rev. Research 8, L012029 (2026) - Published 2 February, 2026

A deterministic model is proposed to describe the exact asymptotics of the type-token relationship in growing systems with power-law rankings, that is, how the number of unique elements grows as the system incorporates new elements. The resulting expression captures large system behavior across all scaling regimes and offers a more accurate fit than previous approximations.

Social hierarchy shapes foraging decisions

Lisa Blum Moyse and Ahmed El Hady

Phys. Rev. Research 8, L012030 (2026) - Published 2 February, 2026

Follower-leader dynamics are found, through observations of leader movements or through counting the number of individuals in a patch, to confer, for most conditions, a benefit for the following individuals by increasing their accuracy in inferring patch richness. On the other hand, misinformation, through the communication of false beliefs about food rewards or patch quality, shows to be detrimental to following individuals but paradoxically leads to increased group cohesion.

Yuita Fujisawa, Anjana Krishnadas, Chia-Hsiu Hsu, Takahito Takeda, Sheng Liu, Markel Pardo-Almanza, Yukiko Obata, Dyon van Dinter, Tomonori Nakamura, Kohei Yamagami, Guoqing Chang, Masaki Kobayashi, Chang-Yang Kuo, and Yoshinori Okada

Phys. Rev. Research 8, L012032 (2026) - Published 4 February, 2026

This work proposes that the spinel superconductor LiTi $_{2}$ O $_{4}$ (3d $^{0.5}$ ) exhibits Ti $^{3 +}$ /Ti $^{4 +}$ charge disproportionation, leading to charge frustration and the enhanced intersite Coulomb interactions below $T$ * (~150 K). The associated negative thermal expansion and the appearance of a dispersion kink near the Fermi level below $T$ * serve as hallmarks of a high-entropy frustrated parent state that gives rise to superconductivity at low temperatures ( $T$ $_{c}$ ~ 12 K).

Foamlike properties in networks of bundled semiflexible polymers

Lukas P. Weise, Tobias A. Kampmann, and Jan Kierfeld

Phys. Rev. Research 8, L012033 (2026) - Published 5 February, 2026

Large-scale simulations of mutually attractive semiflexible polymers show that they generically form a network of bundles, which slowly coarsens over time. Similar to foams, the coarsening process is driven by a reduction of the bundle surface suggesting that such structures are frequently observed in cytoskeletal systems because they represent long-lived intermediate structures in a slow coarsening process toward a ground state consisting of a single bundle.

Threshold $(Q, P)$ distillation of multipartite quantum correlations

Shashank Gupta, William John Munro, and Carlos Cid

Phys. Rev. Research 8, L012036 (2026) - Published 10 February, 2026

Distillation of multipartite quantum correlations usually demands coordinated operations by all parties sharing the state. This work shows that perfect multipartite states can be distilled using only a subset of parties: one party for Greenberger-Horne-Zeilinger states and all but one for $W$ states. The exact local filtering operations are derived, and the protocol’s performance is characterized by analytical expressions for the success probability and output fidelity, supported by numerical simulations.

Motivated by recent experimental findings in UTe $_{2}$ , this work presents a phenomenological framework in which surface charge- and pair-density-wave orders are intertwined by bulk superconductivity. This approach naturally explains a range of surface-sensitive observations, including a magnetic-field-sensitive charge-density wave, asymmetric Fourier peak intensities, and time-reversal symmetry breaking with the onset of bulk superconductivity.

Excitonic oscillator-strength saturation dominates polariton-polariton interactions

Maxime Richard, Irénée Frérot, Sylvain Ravets, Jacqueline Bloch, Carlos Anton-Solanas, Ferdinand Claude, Yueguang Zhou, Martina Morassi, Aristide Lemaître, Iacopo Carusotto, and Anna Minguzzi

Phys. Rev. Research 8, L012039 (2026) - Published 17 February, 2026

The microscopic origin of the interaction between exciton-polaritons is investigated. By measuring the spectral function of the interaction-induced fluctuations around a coherently driven polaritonic field and comparing with the theory, it is found that within a typical and sizeable parameter range, the interaction is dominantly governed by a saturation mechanism of the oscillator strength and not by the scattering of the polariton excitonic fraction.

Decoherence from universal tomographic measurements

Dorje C. Brody and Rishindra Melanathuru

Phys. Rev. Research 8, L012042 (2026) - Published 23 February, 2026

The transition from quantum to classical is often captured in the language of decoherence, whereby the environment monitors a preferred observable of the system, leading to loss of quantum coherence. But if the environment monitors the physical state of the system, not just one observable, then the resulting decoherence effect looks quite different, and it can be shown that larger quantum systems generally decohere faster.

Nonlinear spectroscopy as a magnon breakdown diagnosis and its efficient simulation

David A. S. Kaib, Marius Möller, and Roser Valentí

Phys. Rev. Research 8, L012052 (2026) - Published 5 March, 2026

A Lanczos-based method is developed to simulate two-dimensional coherent spectroscopy responses directly in the frequency domain. Applied to an extended Kitaev model relevant to $α$ -RuCl $_{3}$ , the results delineate regimes where the nonlinear $χ$ $^{2}$ response follows the universal linear-spin-wave form of the partially polarized phase and regimes where it does not, providing a spectroscopic signature of magnon breakdown.

Eva Gurra, Douglas A. Bennett, Shannon M. Duff, Michael R. Vissers, and Joel N. Ullom

Phys. Rev. Research 8, L012053 (2026) - Published 5 March, 2026

A slowdown in the recombination of quasiparticles that are localized in subgap states caused by impurities and disorder in superconducting thin films is considered. The energy scales for quasiparticle localization in commonly used aluminum and niobium thin films are characterized from density-of-states measurements, and slow recombination is found to be insufficient for explaining the universally observed excess quasiparticle population.

Non-Gaussian statistics of concentration fluctuations in free liquid diffusion

Marco Bussoletti, Mirko Gallo, Amir Jafari, and Gregory L. Eyink

Phys. Rev. Research 8, L012059 (2026) - Published 10 March, 2026

Fluctuations of solute concentration in a liquid solvent during free diffusion are studied by a high-Schmidt reduction of Landau-Lifshitz hydrodynamics, both analytically and by a massively parallel Lagrangian Monte Carlo simulation. Non-Gaussian statistics result from nonlinear coupling to thermal velocity fluctuations, persisting for vanishingly small mean concentration gradients and vitiating any central limit theorem in that limit.

Relaxation dynamics and long-time tails explain shear-induced diffusion of soft athermal particles near jamming

Kuniyasu Saitoh and Takeshi Kawasaki

Phys. Rev. Research 8, L012069 (2026) - Published 24 March, 2026

The shear-induced diffusion coefficient of soft athermal particles, such as foams, emulsions, and granular materials, exhibits critical scaling near the jamming transition and diverges in the thermodynamic limit when the system is above the jamming point. This work demonstrates that the shear-induced diffusion coefficient is governed by both the relaxation time and transverse velocity fluctuations, and that its divergence can be attributed to a long-time tail in the transverse velocity autocorrelation function.
