Fabian H. Kreten, Ludger Santen, and Reza Shaebani

Phys. Rev. E 112, 054306 (2025) - Published 10 November, 2025

Inferring tree structure is a problem of practical relevance across diverse domains, from biological transport networks to engineered systems. The results presented here lend themselves to potential applications in noninvasive structural inference, particularly in scenarios where direct observation is challenging.

Flagellar dynamics and entanglement of E.coli bacteria in polymeric hydrogel

Diksha Shrestha, Deborah Okyere, Sam Mortenson, Jingyi Chen, and Yong Wang

Phys. Rev. E 112, 054404 (2025) - Published 6 November, 2025

The authors investigate how behavior and dynamics of bacterial flagella are affected by complex environments, an area that has been largely unexplored. They visualize dynamics of fluorescently labeled flagellar filaments of E. coli bacteria in a hydrogel and find three distinct types of flagellar motions.

Effect of stereochemical constraints on the structural properties of folded proteins

Jack A. Logan, Jacob Sumner, Alex T. Grigas, Mark D. Shattuck, and Corey S. O'Hern

Phys. Rev. E 112, 054405 (2025) - Published 6 November, 2025

This study compares a series of coarse-grained protein models of increasing complexity to identify the simplest model that reproduces key structural properties of protein cores. The results show that accurate modeling of protein cores requires capturing the correct size and anisotropic shape of side chains.

Relativistic multistage resonant and trailing-field acceleration induced by large-amplitude Alfvén waves in a strong magnetic field

S. Isayama, S. Matsukiyo, T. Sano, and S. H. Chen

Phys. Rev. E 112, 055201 (2025) - Published 4 November, 2025

This study addresses particle acceleration up to relativistic energies via a nonlinear evolution of a large-amplitude Alfvén wave. A multistage process is observed in numerical particle-in-cell simulations. The results provide insights into coherent wave-particle interactions in collisionless plasmas with potential implications for the understanding of high-energy cosmic-ray generation in astrophysical environments such as pulsar magnetospheres, accretion disks, and relativistic jets.

Nonideal stability analysis of differentially rotating plasmas with global curvature effects

Alexander Haywood and Fatima Ebrahimi

Phys. Rev. E 112, 055207 (2025) - Published 17 November, 2025

Understanding the behavior of differentially rotating plasmas is important for the study of turbulence and transport in systems such as accretion disks and stellar interiors, as well as in laboratory experiments. The authors use various techniques to analyze the stability of these systems, in particular focusing on the competition between the magneto-rotational instability and the magneto-curvature instability.

Geometric dynamics of signal propagation predict trainability of transformers

Aditya Cowsik, Tamra Nebabu, Xiaoliang Qi, and Surya Ganguli

Phys. Rev. E 112, 055301 (2025) - Published 3 November, 2025

In the context of machine learning, a novel permutation-symmetric ansatz allows the authors to extend earlier results from the multilayer perceptron to a transformer architecture. The study of the correlations inside the model and between the model weights and data should lead to a deeper understanding of the structure of trained transformers.

Particle-scale origin of quadrupolar nonaffine displacement fields in granular solids

Evan P. Willmarth, Weiwei Jin, Dong Wang, Amit Datye, Udo D. Schwarz, Mark D. Shattuck, and Corey S. O'Hern

Phys. Rev. E 112, 055402 (2025) - Published 4 November, 2025

This manuscript investigates the mechanical response, i.e. non-affine displacement, of jammed disk packings subject to athermal, quasistatic shear. The authors identify that isolated effective quadrupoles emerge upon shearing and that these are correlated with the breaking of interparticle contacts. They interpret the numerical results in terms of Eshelby-like triangle defects.

Response of a magnetic particle to rotating magnetic field in viscoelastic fluid

Han Gao, Zhiyuan Zhao, Masao Doi, and Ye Xu

Phys. Rev. E 112, 055417 (2025) - Published 17 November, 2025

The authors studied the rotational motion of isolated ferromagnetic spheres that were suspended in viscoelastic fluids of various compositions and driven by rotating magnetic fields. The experiments and theoretical analysis show that the dynamics in polymer solutions resemble those seen in Newtonian fluids but with a smaller critical frequency, which decreases with increasing polymer concentration.

This study addresses particle acceleration up to relativistic energies via a nonlinear evolution of a large-amplitude Alfvén wave. A multistage process is observed in numerical particle-in-cell simulations. The results provide insights into coherent wave-particle interactions in collisionless plasmas with potential implications for the understanding of high-energy cosmic-ray generation in astrophysical environments such as pulsar magnetospheres, accretion disks, and relativistic jets.

Understanding the behavior of differentially rotating plasmas is important for the study of turbulence and transport in systems such as accretion disks and stellar interiors, as well as in laboratory experiments. The authors use various techniques to analyze the stability of these systems, in particular focusing on the competition between the magneto-rotational instability and the magneto-curvature instability.

The study of the correlations inside the model and between the model weights and data should lead to a deeper understanding of the structure of trained transformers.

This manuscript investigates the mechanical response, i.e. non-affine displacement, of jammed disk packings subject to athermal, quasistatic shear. The authors identify that isolated effective quadrupoles emerge upon shearing and that these are correlated with the breaking of interparticle contacts. They interpret the numerical results in terms of Eshelby-like triangle defects.

The authors studied the rotational motion of isolated ferromagnetic spheres that were suspended in viscoelastic fluids of various compositions and driven by rotating magnetic fields. The experiments and theoretical analysis show that the dynamics in polymer solutions resemble those seen in Newtonian fluids but with a smaller critical frequency, which decreases with increasing polymer concentration.
