“The Perfect Glass Paradigm: Disordered Hyperuniform Glasses Down to Absolute Zero” is published in Scientific Reports Categories News Author chmadmin Read the full paper here For a popular account of the research, see the Princeton University news story Rapid cooling of liquids below a certain temperature range can result in a transition to glassy states. The traditional understanding of glasses includes their thermodynamic metastability with respect to crystals. However, here we present specific examples of … Continue Reading “The Perfect Glass Paradigm: Disordered Hyperuniform Glasses Down to Absolute Zero” is published in Scientific Reports
“Extreme Lattices: Symmetries and Decorrelation” is published in Journal of Statistical Mechanics: Theory and Experiment Categories News Author chmadmin Read the full paper here We study statistical and structural properties of extreme lattices, which are the local minima in the density landscape of lattice sphere packings in \(d\)-dimensional Euclidean space \({{\mathbb{R}}^{d}}\) . Specifically, we ascertain statistics of the densities and kissing numbers as well as the numbers of distinct symmetries of the packings for … Continue Reading “Extreme Lattices: Symmetries and Decorrelation” is published in Journal of Statistical Mechanics: Theory and Experiment
“A Renewed Model of Pancreatic Cancer Evolution…” in Nature Categories News Author chmadmin A recent paper (Falyza Notta, et al, Nature, 2016) suggests that pancreatic cancer does not proceed gradually but rather behaves like a “big bang” at some point in time (see a related news release in Medical News Today). This is completely consistent with the cancer dormancy model proposed by Chen, Jiao, and Torquato in 2014, in which there is a sudden “switch” to … Continue Reading “A Renewed Model of Pancreatic Cancer Evolution…” in Nature
