HIGHLIGHTED ARTICLES

FEATURED IN PHYSICS

Forecasting landslides using community detection on geophysical satellite data

Vrinda D. Desai, Farnaz Fazelpour, Alexander L. Handwerger, and Karen E. Daniels

Phys. Rev. E 108, 014901 (2023) - Published 6 July, 2023

A new method based on satellite data and network models can identify hillsides that may be at risk of catastrophic landslides.

FEATURED IN PHYSICS

Substrate-mediated leg interactions play a key role in insect stability on granular slopes

Miguel Piñeirua, Anna Verbe, and Jérôme Casas

Phys. Rev. E 108, 014903 (2023) - Published 25 July, 2023

Experiments show that an optimal distance between points of contact helps insects and other multilegged creatures avoid slipping down a steep granular slope.

EDITORS' SUGGESTION

Current fluctuations in stochastically resetting particle systems

Costantino Di Bello, Alexander K. Hartmann, Satya N. Majumdar, Francesco Mori, Alberto Rosso, and Grégory Schehr

Phys. Rev. E 108, 014112 (2023) - Published 7 July, 2023

The authors investigate the effects of stochastic resetting on current fluctuations for two different models for particle motion: Brownian motion and run-and-tumble motion. Using analytical and numerical methods, they find large differences in how the two models approach the steady state in the annealed and the quenched cases.

EDITORS' SUGGESTION

Stability of the modulator in a plasma-modulated plasma accelerator

J. J. van de Wetering, S. M. Hooker, and R. Walczak

Phys. Rev. E 108, 015204 (2023) - Published 19 July, 2023

Laser-plasma accelerators can provide a compact method for acceleration of particles. The authors of this paper derive a three-dimensional analytic theory for a laser-plasma accelerator that some of the authors introduced earlier. Using theory and simulations, they evaluate the influence of various parameters on the stability of the accelerator and conclude that higher energies can be achieved than those demonstrated in the original proposal.

EDITORS' SUGGESTION

LETTER

Coupled instabilities drive quasiperiodic order-disorder transitions in Faraday waves

Valeri Frumkin and Shreyas Gokhale

Phys. Rev. E 108, L012601 (2023) - Published 17 July, 2023

A vibrated layer of fluid can form an ordered pattern of standing waves known as Faraday waves, or a disordered state full of defects. The authors experimentally study the transitions between these two states and find an explanation for their quasiperiodicity in time.
