Information bounds the robustness of self-organized systems
Nicolas Romeo, David G. Martin, Mattia Scandolo +3
Self-organized systems, from synthetic nanostructures to developing organisms, are composed of fluctuating units capable of forming robust functional structures despite noise. Here…
When is nonreciprocity relevant?
Giulia Garcia Lorenzana, David Martin, Yael Avni +4
Nonreciprocal interactions are widely observed in nonequilibrium systems, from biological or sociological dynamics to open quantum systems. Despite the ubiquity of nonreciprocity,…
Quorum sensing of light-activated colloids in nematic liquid crystals
Antonio Tavera-Vázquez, David Martin, Haijie Ren +5
Motile living organisms routinely probe their surroundings to adapt in ever-evolving environments. Although synthetic microswimmers offer surrogates for self-propelled living entit…
Sociohydrodynamics: data-driven modelling of social behavior
Daniel S. Seara, Jonathan Colen, Michel Fruchart +3
Living systems display complex behaviors driven by physical forces as well as decision-making. Hydrodynamic theories hold promise for simplified universal descriptions of socially-…
Dynamical phase transitions in the nonreciprocal Ising model
Yael Avni, Michel Fruchart, David Martin +2
Nonreciprocal interactions in many-body systems lead to time-dependent states, commonly observed in biological, chemical, and ecological systems. The stability of these states in t…
Nonreciprocal Ising model
Yael Avni, Michel Fruchart, David Martin +2
Systems with nonreciprocal interactions generically display time-dependent states. These are routinely observed in finite systems, from neuroscience to active matter, in which glob…
