Extensive cooperation among unrelated individuals is unique to humans, who often sacrifice
personal benefits for the common good and work together to achieve what they are unable …

This article reviews our present knowledge of universality classes in nonequilibrium systems
defined on regular lattices. The first section presents the most important critical exponents …

Hallmarks of criticality, such as power-laws and scale invariance, have been empirically
found in cortical-network dynamics and it has been conjectured that operating at criticality …

Rare regions, ie, rare large spatial disorder fluctuations, can dramatically change the
properties of a phase transition in a quenched disordered system. In generic classical …

There is a large variety of quantum and classical systems in which the quenched disorder
plays a dominant rôle over quantum, thermal, or stochastic fluctuations: these systems …

In this paper, we review theoretical and experimental research on rare region effects at
quantum phase transitions in disordered itinerant electron systems. After summarizing a few …

Graph theory is now becoming a standard tool in system-level neuroscience. However,
endowing observed brain anatomy and dynamics with a complex network structure does not …

Quenched disorder is known to play a relevant role in dynamical processes and phase
transitions. Its effects on the dynamics of complex networks have hardly been studied. Aimed …

Universal scaling behavior is an attractive feature in statistical physics because a wide
range of models can be classified purely in terms of their collective behavior due to a …
