PreprintDice ser un gran avanceGliders on Aperiodic Monotilings: Cellular Automata on the Hat and Spectre
Evolutionary search then discovers gliders on both monotilings; tracked by a sliding window that regenerates the patch along the flight, they travel one million rings at constant speed and heading.

Combining numerical simulations with exact analytical theory, we classify the densest configurations into two continuous, mathematically tractable families: chiral Tetra Helices and achiral Dimer Chains.

Together, our results establish viscous dissipation as a key stabilizing mechanism that governs bubble morphology and failure in soft materials.
PreprintUso en el mundo realA principal-stress rule for cell division in epithelia
We show that as epithelia densify, this geometric rule is superseded by a mechanical one: cells divide along the principal axis of anisotropic stress, independently of the isotropic stress state.

Together, these results suggest that lipid loss physically remodels WAT to facilitate breast cancer invasion, and that obesity may exacerbate this effect.
PreprintExtracting hydrogel properties by watching hydrogel particles moving through solid ice
Here, we show how one can use this behavior to measure -- with extremely high resolution -- a range of different hydrogel transport properties, and how these change as a hydrogel deswells.
PreprintLowest-known Energy Configuration of Coulomb Charges in a Disk: Breaking the Barrier
We report the first calculation of the lowest-known energy configuration for classical point charges confined to a disk and interacting via the Coulomb potential - a system size never before achieved for the Thomson problem in a disk, more than doubling the previous record of reported by Amore and Zarate.

Although usually viewed as an obstacle to coherent dynamics, here we show that high dimensionality can enhance topologically protected oscillations.

We show that negative feedback alone generates the diversity of self-organized shapes usually attributed to scale-dependent activation-inhibition.
PreprintThermodynamic efficiency of communication channels
We find that the entropy production per channel use is bounded from below by the input-output mutual information, and their ratio -mutual information divided by entropy production- defines the thermodynamic efficiency.
PreprintUnbounded Work Extraction and Zero Work Fluctuations in a Super-Carnot Otto Information Engine
We demonstrate that the work output of the OIE depends solely on the energy level gap, enabling arbitrary work extraction while eliminating work fluctuations, thereby ensuring cycle-to-cycle identical work output.
PreprintAfirmaciones fuertes, leer con cuidadoDice ser un gran avanceEmergent memory in cell-like active systems
We show that when the self-propulsion depends on internal variables with their own complex dynamics–modulated by local environmental cues– environmental memory spontaneously emerges and gives rise to new classes of behaviours.
Revista con revisión por paresEmergent charge crystallization and frustration in a particle anti-spin ice
Here, we report the realization of an “anti-spin ice” in which not only the ice rule does not hold, but its opposite is true as the system seeks to maximize, rather than minimize, spin ice charges.
Revista con revisión por paresSpeed up of passive tracers in mixtures with active chemical reactions
By studying a thermodynamically consistent model of chemical reactions in mixtures, we show that reactions provide an additional relaxation pathway that suppresses interaction-induced memory, reducing the drag on tracers and restoring their diffusivity toward the value expected in the absence of solutes.
PreprintPhase diagram morphology shapes droplet propulsion in chemical gradients
Our theory reveals that droplets move toward regions of lower stability, as encoded in the morphology of the phase diagram, particularly near critical points.

We derive exact finite-size nonperturbative representations of equilibrium modal occupations and related statistics for three representative nonlinear systems: the Majda-McLaughlin-Tabak dispersive-wave model, the Fermi-Pasta-Ulam-Tsingou beta anharmonic chain, and the discrete nonlinear Schrodinger lattice field.
PreprintProactive Incentive Regulation in Multi-Agent Systems with Environmental Feedback
Proactive intervention under favorable environmental conditions is more effective in sustaining cooperation than delayed enforcement after environmental degradation.

These results reveal a collective amplification mechanism by which weak initial asymmetries become increasingly decisive in large decentralized networks, and they provide a simple framework for understanding the efficiency, predictability, and reliability of consensus formation in distributed decision systems.

Taken together, our results suggest a paradigm in which histones may have evolved to facilitate particular types of mesoscale chromatin behavior.

We derive a modification that satisfies the local-detailed-balance condition for macroscopic relaxation toward nonequilibrium steady states, thereby identifying the thermodynamic force, entropy-production rate and frenesy of the resulting flow.
PreprintNonequilibrium Phases of Repulsive Self-Attention: Chaos, Attention Condensation, and Emergent Locality
These results establish temporal activity, attention condensation, and geometric clustering as distinct collective phenomena, and show that sparse attention can sustain persistent dynamics rather than freeze it.

PreprintFull macroscopic thermalization and the formation of Schr\"odinger's cats by unitary time evolution in the weakly perturbed Ising model - Applications of the Roos-Sugimoto-Teufel-Tumulka-Vogel theory
We prove that a single typical perturbation makes every initial state in a specified energy shell thermalize: a measurement of a large class of macroscopic observables in the time-evolved state yields their thermal equilibrium values, within a prescribed precision and with overwhelming probability, at sufficiently large, typical times .
PreprintRank-dependent optimal resetting in multiparticle search
Our results show that optimal resetting in multiparticle search is governed by the required completion rank and must be evaluated relative to protocol- and geometry-matched baselines.
PreprintFirst Passage in the Presence of Jump Rate Fluctuations: A Transition from Infinite to Finite Mean
We find a phase transition in the mean first-passage time: sufficiently broad rate fluctuations render it finite, whereas weaker fluctuations leave it infinite.
PreprintThe Filtering Demon: Beyond Standard Thermodynamic Bounds and Harnessing Measurement Error and Quantum Friction
To overcome this, we propose an Otto information engine (OIE) that employs a Maxwell's demon to filter out detrimental stochastic trajectories, and demonstrate that the OIE can provide enhanced work output and stability compared to the corresponding standard Otto engine.

Keeping the target's typical exploration range fixed, we find that the mean capture time is maximized at an intermediate correlation time: rapid motion promotes encounters, whereas slow motion leaves the target effectively stationary.

Environmental feedback promoted trust near perception-tier boundaries and reinforced its decline at the high-return operating point.
PreprintUniversal Response Functions in Driven Dissipative Tunneling Dynamics
