# gst: nonmonotonic appearance- disappearance behaviors of two unequal-sized miscible liquid drops

<< the coalescence process of two miscible liquid drops exhibits a nonmonotonic behavior of partial coalescence from appearance to disappearance and then reappearance with decreasing surface tension ratio. The strong lifting force of the intense Marangoni flow causes the reappearance of partial coalescence at higher surface tension difference between two drops. When the Ohnesorge number increases, high viscous forces restrict the propagation of Marangoni flow and do not favor the pinch-off, even in the presence of a significant surface tension difference. The generation of secondary drops at a considerable surface tension difference is also prevented for small parent drop size ratio. >>️

# gst: apropos of transitions, droplet trajectories during single and collective bursting bubbles

<< Mechanisms of droplet production from bursting bubbles have been extensively studied for single bubbles, but remain sparsely investigated in more complex collective settings. >>️

<< In the collective bubbling experiment, subsurface quasimonodisperse bubbles are rising up to the surface where, depending on the surfactant concentration, they can either merge or assemble in rafts of monodisperse bubbles. Drop trajectories are recorded, analyzed, and shown to exhibit uniquely distinctive features for the different production mechanisms: centrifuge film drops are ejected sideways, and jet drops are ejected vertically. Different single-burst scalings are finally compared to the experimental size-velocity relationships, and reveal that drops coming from collective bubble bursting appear slower and more scattered than when coming from single bursting bubbles. >>️

# gst: another way for the evaporation of a black hole

<< The quantum fluctuations that pervade empty space spontaneously give birth to pairs of particles and antiparticles. Ordinarily, these pairs annihilate so promptly that their existence is virtual. But a powerful field can pull a pair’s members apart for long enough that their existence becomes real. Now (AA) have proposed that particle pairs can be brought into existence by the immense gravitational tidal forces around a black hole (..).>>

<< If the vacuum is stable, all pairs that are created are also destroyed. But a strong field destabilizes the vacuum, makes some paths more likely than others, and leads to a deficit of pairs that recombine. The deficit is balanced by a net outflow of real particles, which, in the case of a black hole’s gravitational field, leads to the black hole’s eventual evaporation. >>️

# gst: apropos of transitions, scrambling trajectories in a radiative random unitary circuit.

AA << study quantum information scrambling in a random unitary circuit that exchanges qubits with an environment (..). As a result, initially localized quantum information  not only spreads within the system, but also spills into the environment. >>

<< The transition is also easily extended to higher dimensions, where higher-dimensional DP (directed percolation) universality classes will control the critical behavior. >>

<<  The transition in operator spreading  coincides with an information-theoretic 3 transition, which can be framed by  viewing (AA) circuit as a toy model for an evaporating black hole (..). >>️

<< Depending on the initial state of the swapped-in qubits, (AA) observe a corresponding entanglement transition in the coherent information into the environment. >>

# gst: apropos of coexistence of coherent and incoherent oscillators, chaotic chimera attractors in a triangular network.

<< A prominent type of collective dynamics in networks of coupled oscillators is the coexistence of coherently and incoherently oscillating domains known as chimera states. >>️

<< In a three-population network of identical Kuramoto-Sakaguchi phase oscillators, stationary and periodic symmetric chimeras were previously studied on a reduced manifold in which two populations behaved identically. >>

<< In this paper, (AA) study the full phase space dynamics of such three-population networks. (They) demonstrate the existence of macroscopic chaotic chimera attractors that exhibit aperiodic antiphase dynamics of the order parameters. >>

<< The chaotic chimera states coexist with a stable chimera solution on the Ott-Antonsen manifold that displays periodic antiphase oscillation of the two incoherent populations and with a symmetric stationary chimera solution, resulting in tristability of chimera states. Of these three coexisting chimera states, only the symmetric stationary chimera solution exists in the symmetry-reduced manifold. >>️

# gst: even a tiny noise could self-induce new chimera patterns through stochastic resonance

<< Noise induced order in excitable systems has diverse manifestations, such as coherence resonance (CR) and stochastic resonance. In this context a less explored phenomenon is self-induced stochastic resonance (SISR). Unlike CR, SISR may arise away from the bifurcation threshold and the properties of the induced oscillations depend upon both the noise intensity and the time-scale separation factor. In this work, (AA) report a new chimera pattern in a network of coupled excitable units, namely the self-induced stochastic resonance chimera or SISR-chimera that originates from the SISR phenomenon. (AA) explore the detailed dynamics of the SISR-chimera in the parameter space using proper quantitative measures. (AA) have found that unlike CR chimera, the SISR-chimera pattern strongly depends upon the ratio of time scale and noise intensity. Therefore, this type of chimera pattern can be induced even for a tiny noise intensity if the time scale separation of the activator and inhibitor is large enough. >>️

# gst: intricate transitions in elastoactive structures.

<< The interplay between activity and elasticity often found in active and living systems triggers a plethora of autonomous behaviors ranging from self-assembly and collective motion to actuation. Among these, spontaneous self-oscillations of mechanical structures is perhaps the simplest and most widespread type of nonequilibrium phenomenon. >>️

<< Here, (AA) introduce a centimeter-sized model system for one-dimensional elastoactive structures. >>️

<< such structures exhibit flagellar motion when pinned at one end, self-snapping when pinned at two ends, and synchronization when coupled together with a sufficiently stiff link. (..) these transitions can be described quantitatively by simple models of coupled pendula with follower forces. >>️
