# gst: apropos of synchronization of large bubble clouds, self-oscillating acoustic bubbles that bounce

<< Self-oscillations underlie many natural phenomena such as heartbeat, ocean waves, and the pulsation of variable stars. (..) In this study, (AA) consider two closely spaced bubbles pulsating in the kHz range in response to ultrasonic excitation. A translational bouncing motion emerges from their interaction with a much lower frequency than the bubble pulsation frequency. >>

Their analysis << reveals that the observed bubble bouncing exhibits the main features of self-oscillation, such as negative damping and the emergence of a limit cycle. These results highlight unexpected nonlinear effects in the field of microbubbles and give insights into the understanding of synchronization in large bubble clouds. >>️

# gst: apropos of collective behaviors, a visual model to reproduces swarming, schooling, and milling.


<< Animal collective behavior is often modeled with self-propelled particles, assuming each individual has “omniscient” knowledge of its neighbors. Yet, neighbors may be hidden from view and we do not know the effect of this information loss. To address this question, (AA) propose a visual model of collective behavior where each particle moves according to bioplausible visual cues, in particular the optic flow. This visual model successfully reproduces three classical collective behaviors: swarming (no orientational order), schooling (high orientational order), and milling (the group coordinately swirls in a circular pattern). >>️

# gst: evolving disorder and chaos induces acceleration of elastic waves.

<< Static or frozen disorder, characterised by spatial heterogeneities, influences diverse complex systems, encompassing many-body systems, equilibrium and nonequilibrium states of matter, intricate network topologies, biological systems, and wave-matter interactions. >>

AA << investigate elastic wave propagation in a one-dimensional heterogeneous medium with diagonal disorder. (They) examine two types of complex elastic materials: one with static disorder, where mass density randomly varies in space, and the other with evolving disorder, featuring random variations in both space and time. (AA) results indicate that evolving disorder enhances the propagation speed of Gaussian pulses compared to static disorder. Additionally, (They) demonstrate that the acceleration effect also occurs when the medium evolves chaotically rather than randomly over time. The latter establishes that evolving randomness is not a unique prerequisite for observing wavefront acceleration, introducing the concept of chaotic acceleration in complex media. >>️

# gst: exploring the on-demand dynamical generation of a plethora of dispersive shock waves arising in attractive one-dimensional droplet-bearing environment.

AA << demonstrate the controllable generation of distinct types of dispersive shock-waves emerging in a quantum droplet bearing environment with the aid of step-like initial conditions. Dispersive regularization of the ensuing hydrodynamic singularities occurs due to the competition between meanfield repulsion and attractive quantum fluctuations. This interplay delineates the dominance of defocusing (hyperbolic) and focusing (elliptic) hydrodynamic phenomena respectively being designated by real and imaginary speed of sound. >>

<< Surprisingly, dispersive shock waves persist across the hyperbolic-to-elliptic threshold, while a plethora of additional wave patterns arise, such as rarefaction waves, traveling dispersive shock waves, (anti)kinks and droplet wavetrains. >>

AA << results pave the way for unveiling a multitude of unexplored coherently propagating waveforms in such attractively interacting mixtures. >>

# gst: apropos of evaporation, puncturing of active drops

<< By virtue of self-propulsion, active particles impart intricate stresses to the background fluids. (..) this active stress can be utilized to greatly control evaporation dynamics of active drops. >>

AA << discover a new phenomenon of puncturing of the active drops, where the air-liquid interface of the drop undergoes spontaneous tearing and there occurs a formation of a new three-phase contact line due to the liquid-air interface hitting the liquid-solid interface through evaporation-driven mass loss. Post puncturing, (AA) see an inside-out evaporation of the drop, where the new contact line sweeps towards the pinned outer contact line of the drops, contrasting regular drops that straightaway shrink to zero volume with self-similar shape. >>

<< Furthermore, (..) the activity inside the drops can manipulate the three-phase contact-line dynamics, which for contractile drops can result in an up to 50% enhanced lifetime of the drop and 33% quicker evaporation for extensile drops. By analyzing the flux distribution inside the drop, (AA) gain insights on nonintuitive deposition patterns (e.g., ring galaxy type deposits that demonstrate controllable spatial gradients in the concentrations of the deposited particles) of active particles, which are oftentimes biological substances or bimetallic nanoparticles of interest. >>

# gst: creating topological vortex rings (on demand)


<< Vortex rings are ubiquitous topological structures in nature. In solid magnetic systems, their formation leads to intriguing physical phenomena and potential device applications. >>

 Here, AA << theoretically show that topological vortex rings can be created by a current pulse in a chiral magnetic nanocylinder with a trench structure. The creation process involves the formation of a vortex ring street, i.e., a chain of magnetic vortex rings with an alternative linking manner. The created vortex rings can be bounded with monopole-antimonopole pairs and possess a rich and controllable linking topology (..) which is determined by the duration and amplitude of the current pulse. >>
