# gst: apropos of "Anomalous Diffusion"

<< Consider a chaotic dynamical system generating diffusionlike Brownian motion. Consider a second, nonchaotic system in which all particles localize. Let a particle experience a random combination of both systems by sampling between them in time. What type of diffusion is exhibited by this random dynamical system?  >>

# phys: a plasma soup "cooked" in laboratory

<< a team of scientists (..) has for the first time created a particular form of coherent and magnetized plasma jet that could deepen the understanding of the workings of much larger jets that stream from newborn stars and possibly black holes-stellar objects so massive that they trap light and warp both space and time. >>

<< We are now creating stable, supersonic, and strongly magnetized plasma jets in a laboratory that might allow us to study astrophysical objects light years away, >>  Edison Liang.

# physio: bioclocks: liver knows what time it is.

Two studies << analyze the network of internal clocks that regulate metabolism. Although researchers had suspected that the body's various circadian clocks could operate independently from the central clock in the hypothalamus of the brain, there was previously no way to test the theory >>

<< The results were quite surprising, (..) No one realized that the liver or skin could be so directly affected by light.>> Paolo Sassone-Corsi.

# gst: to create standing waves induced by mismatches

<< In work recently published (..), the mismatch of electronic momentum across domain walls (i.e., regions with a different orientation of the intrinsic electric dipole) is shown to create standing waves, even though there is no potential buildup across the domain wall. >>
