This study simulates the quasi-static motion of a sphere through a horizontal soap film to demonstrate that a bubble is entrained when the contact angle is below $90^\circ$, with the resulting bubble size increasing for larger particles and smaller contact angles, particularly when the film is constrained by a fixed wire frame.
This paper presents conjectured candidates for the least-perimeter partition of a disc into up to ten regions of two distinct areas by enumerating three-connected simple cubic graphs, numerically evaluating their perimeters across various area ratios, and interpolating the results to identify optimal structures for different configurations.
This paper demonstrates through simulations and experiments that "scutoid" cells, previously identified in curved epithelial tissues, also emerge in dry soap froths when subjected to boundary curvature.
Simulations using the Surface Evolver demonstrate that ideal two-dimensional foams and emulsions with finite contact angles develop spontaneous inhomogeneities (flocculation) at high liquid fractions, with disordered foams exhibiting steady growth of this instability without requiring external perturbation.
By integrating the Young-Laplace equation with gravity effects, this study determines the specific ranges of Bond number and contact angle that allow a substrate to support equilibrium Plateau borders, thereby defining the conditions under which a surface is foam-philic versus foam-phobic.
Through photoelastic experiments on partially-bonded granular materials, the study reveals that interparticle cohesion enhances bulk strength and stiffness by creating localized force and connectivity concentrations around bonded dimers, which broaden force distributions and increase local pressure through both tensile and compressive contributions.
This paper establishes a unified formalism for the symmetric and antisymmetric components of integrated covariances in nonequilibrium steady states, expressing them via excess observables and deriving thermodynamic bounds that link antisymmetric fluctuations and self-averaging speedups to entropy production and cycle affinities.
This study combines variational analysis and molecular dynamics simulations to map the ground-state phase diagram of two-dimensional core-softened particles, revealing a rich landscape of cluster lattices, Bravais structures, and frustration-induced quasicrystals driven by competing length scales.
This paper establishes a unified framework linking supersymmetry, Markov dualities, and shape-invariance exact solvability by analyzing the factorized structure of one-dimensional Fokker-Planck generators and their supersymmetric partners, extending these concepts to both diffusion processes and nearest-neighbor Markov jump processes.
This paper establishes a universal scaling framework for deep indentation of soft elastic materials beyond the Hertzian regime by deriving closed-form solutions that accurately predict contact force and radius up to extreme deformations, validated through finite element analysis and diverse experiments ranging from synthetic polymers to biological tissues.
This paper challenges the traditional view that macroscopic fluctuations and spontaneous symmetry breaking are incompatible in Bose-Einstein condensation by proposing an alternative framework for the uniform ideal gas where the standard Bogoliubov quasi-average fails, and the observed phenomena are explained through the condensation of fluctuations and long-range correlations.
This paper introduces the finite-difference parquet method, a nonperturbative approach that accurately reproduces the strong-coupling pseudogap in the underdoped Hubbard model by revealing how enhanced, energy-dependent electron-paramagnon scattering drives the phenomenon through decisive vertex corrections.
This paper presents a landscape-agnostic study of rare dynamical events in mean-field disordered systems that reveals a rich diversity of instanton structures beyond classical nucleation theory, thereby identifying the point of irreversibility and clarifying the landscape features governing activated relaxation in the RFOT universality class.
This paper proposes a minimal model of interacting fermions on a trimerized triangular lattice that realizes a kinetic-energy-driven ferromagnetic insulating phase at 1/3-filling, where ferromagnetic superexchange dominates over antiferromagnetic interactions for large but finite , a phenomenon absent in the analogous trimerized Kagome lattice.
Using numerically exact diagrammatic Monte Carlo simulations, this study demonstrates that while long-range Coulomb repulsion suppresses the superfluid transition temperature of bond bipolarons in a two-dimensional Su--Schrieffer--Heeger model, a significant remains achievable across a broad parameter range, including the adiabatic regime.
This paper introduces a robust quantum algorithm that estimates the density of states for fermionic systems within specific particle-number subspaces by evolving random initial states, offering a practical pathway to achieve early quantum advantage through noise-resilient, semi-quantitative reconstructions compatible with both NISQ and fault-tolerant devices.
