Two phase transitions in modular multiplex networks
Yael Kfir-Cohen, Dana Ben Porath, Bnaya Gross +2
Modular networks, such as critical infrastructures, are often built from distinct, densely connected modules (e.g., cities) that are sparsely interconnected. When such networks are…
The mechanistic origin of branching-driven nucleation in abrupt phase transitions
Leyang Xue, Shengling Gao, Bnaya Gross +5
Phase transitions are the macroscopic manifestation of microscopic processes that drive a system towards a new state. The detailed evolution of these processes, particularly in abr…
From Interdependent Networks to Two-Interactions Physical Systems
Yuval Sallem, Nahala Yadid, Xi Wang +5
Recent advances have shown that introducing dependency interactions between two superconducting networks can trigger abrupt, hysteretic normal-superconductor phase transitions. In…
Network-driven discovery of repurposable drugs targeting hallmarks of aging
Bnaya Gross, Joseph Ehlert, Vadim N. Gladyshev +2
Despite the thousands of genes implicated in age-related phenotypes, effective interventions for aging remain elusive, a lack of advance rooted in the multifactorial nature of long…
The Spontaneous Cascading Mechanism Behind Critical Phenomena in Self-Coupled Lasers
Jiaoqing Wang, Yael Kfir-Cohen, Chenni Xu +4
The basic physics of lasers is characterized by a second-order continuous phase transition at the critical lasing threshold. Nevertheless, laser bistability with abrupt transitions…
Dynamics of critical cascades in interdependent networks
Dolev Dilmoney, Bnaya Gross, Shlomo Havlin +1
The collapse of interdependent networks, as well as similar avalanche phenomena, is driven by cascading failures. At the critical point, the cascade begins as a critical branching…
