“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
“Static Structural Signatures of Nearly Jammed Disordered and Ordered Hard-sphere Packings: Direct Correlation Function” is published in Physical Review E Categories News Author chmadmin Read the full paper here The nonequilibrium process by which hard-particle systems may be compressed into disordered, jammed states has received much attention because of its wide utility in describing a broad class of amorphous materials. While dynamical signatures are known to precede jamming, the task of identifying static structural signatures indicating the onset of … Continue Reading “Static Structural Signatures of Nearly Jammed Disordered and Ordered Hard-sphere Packings: Direct Correlation Function” is published in Physical Review E
