Protected superconductivity at the boundaries of charge-density-wave domains

B. Leridon, J. Vanacken, V. Moshchalkov +7

Solid 4He may acquire superfluid characteristics due to the frustration of the solid phase at grain boundaries. Here, we show that an analogous effect occurs in systems with compet…

Finite-size scaling as a way to probe near-criticality in natural swarms

A. Attanasi, A. Cavagna, L. Del Castello +8

Collective behaviour in biological systems is often accompanied by strong correlations. The question has therefore arisen of whether correlation is amplified by the vicinity to som…

Emergence of collective changes in travel direction of starling flocks from individual birds fluctuations

Alessandro Attanasi, Andrea Cavagna, Lorenzo Del Castello +7

One of the most impressive features of moving animal groups is their ability to perform sudden coherent changes in travel direction. While this collective decision can be a respons…

Collective behaviour without collective order in wild swarms of midges

A. Attanasi, A. Cavagna, L. Del Castello +8

Collective behaviour is a widespread phenomenon in biology, cutting through a huge span of scales, from cell colonies up to bird flocks and fish schools. The most prominent trait o…

GReTA - a novel Global and Recursive Tracking Algorithm in three dimensions

Alessandro Attanasi, Andrea Cavagna, Lorenzo Del Castello +8

Tracking multiple moving targets allows quantitative measure of the dynamic behavior in systems as diverse as animal groups in biology, turbulence in fluid dynamics and crowd and t…

Competition between Superconductivity and Charge Density Waves: the Role of Disorder

A. Attanasi

More recently STM experimets present firm evidence of some kind of charge modulation in underdoped cuprates. The peculiar observations of the above experiments are located in the s…
