Three-dimensional genome architecture persists in a 52,000-year-old woolly mammoth skin sample

M Sandoval-Velasco, O Dudchenko, JA Rodríguez… - Cell, 2024 - cell.com
Analyses of ancient DNA typically involve sequencing the surviving short oligonucleotides
and aligning to genome assemblies from related, modern species. Here, we report that skin …

Dimensionality reduction of local structure in glassy binary mixtures

D Coslovich, RL Jack, J Paret - The Journal of Chemical Physics, 2022 - pubs.aip.org
We consider unsupervised learning methods for characterizing the disordered microscopic
structure of supercooled liquids and glasses. Specifically, we perform dimensionality …

Point-defect avalanches mediate grain boundary diffusion

I Chesser, Y Mishin - Communications Materials, 2022 - nature.com
Grain boundary diffusion in polycrystalline materials is a physical phenomenon of great

Logarithmic aging via instability cascades in disordered systems

D Shohat, Y Friedman, Y Lahini - Nature Physics, 2023 - nature.com
Many complex and disordered systems fail to reach equilibrium after they have been
quenched or perturbed. Instead, they sluggishly relax toward equilibrium at an ever-slowing …

Non-reciprocal spin-glass transition and aging

GG Lorenzana, A Altieri, G Biroli, M Fruchart… - arXiv preprint arXiv …, 2024 - arxiv.org
Disordered systems generically exhibit aging and a glass transition. Previous studies have
long suggested that non-reciprocity tends to destroy glassiness. Here, we show that this is …

Nonlinear dielectric response in glass formers: Restoring forces and avoided spin-glass criticality

E Bertin, F Ladieu - Physical Review E, 2024 - APS
Experimental measurements of nonlinear dielectric response in glass formers like
supercooled glycerol or propylene carbonate have been interpreted as providing evidence …

Introduction to dynamical mean-field theory of randomly connected neural networks with bidirectionally correlated couplings

W Zou, H Huang - SciPost Physics Lecture Notes, 2024 - scipost.org
Dynamical mean-field theory is a powerful physics tool used to analyze the typical behavior
of neural networks, where neurons can be recurrently connected, or multiple layers of …

Non-linear physical aging of supercooled glycerol induced by large upward ideal temperature steps monitored through cooling experiments

M Hénot, F Ladieu - The Journal of Chemical Physics, 2023 - pubs.aip.org
The physical aging of supercooled glycerol induced by upward temperature steps of
amplitude reaching 45 K was studied by a new method consisting in heating a micrometer …
