# gst: apropos of migrations, asymmetric simple exclusion process with concerted hopping.


<< An important mechanism enabling fast ion diffusion in solid electrolytes is considered to be the significant lowering of the activation barrier when two or more ion particles hop simultaneously between sites, i.e., concerted migration, compared to single-ion hopping. >>

In this study AA << incorporate a mechanism of simultaneous particle hopping into the asymmetric simple exclusion process, which is an archetypal model for many-particle transportation phenomena, and investigate its impact on particle transport properties. >>

In Their model, << reflecting ion dynamics, the hopping rates are controlled by the activation energy, inverse temperature, and strength of an external driving field. (AA) first construct an exact solution that describes the steady state of the proposed model. By using this solution, (They) find that concerted migration substantially increases the particle current and induces a shift of the peak in the fundamental diagram, i.e., the density-current relationship. >>

AA << also show the presence of a critical temperature that maximizes the current. Additionally, we discuss the implications within parameter regions corresponding to actual materials. >>

# gst: homology for structural characterization in disordered systems

<< Local and global structural characterizations emphasize different aspects of materials, with the former focusing on microscopic features like coordination environment, short-range order, bond angles and lengths, and the latter on macroscopic features like long-range order, phase structure, lattice constants, and overall symmetry. In conclusion, local characterization focuses on the environment and structure of individual particles or regions, while global characterization refers to the overall topology or geometry of the material. >>

AA << propose a unified framework based on persistent homology to characterize both local and global structures in disordered systems. It can simultaneously generate local and global descriptors using the same algorithm and data structure, and has been shown to be highly effective and interpretable in predicting particle rearrangements and classifying global phases. >>

AA also << define a nonparametric metric, the separation index, (that) establishes a connection between particle environments and the global phase structure. >>

# life: trace the rise and fall of inequality in China (over 5,000 years)

<< The rise and fall of inequality in the west has been studied in detail by eminent economists such as Simon Kuznets and Thomas Piketty. But China offers a chance to go much further back in time, having maintained a unified identity and unique language for more than 5,000 years – as well as some extraordinarily detailed dynastic archives. >>

<< Using these, a team of economists including the author of (Their) latest Insights long read, Peng Zhou from Cardiff University, set out to trace the impact of technological advances – from the revolutionary iron plough to block printing and imperial exams – on inequality in China’s imperial dynasties spanning two millennia. >>

<< Their conclusions have some fascinating implications for today’s technological panic over the rise of AI. As we stand at the edge of this latest technological cliff, history whispers: “Calm down. You’ve been here before.” >>

# gst: how noise affects memory in linear recurrent networks


<< The effects of noise on memory in a linear recurrent network are theoretically investigated. Memory is characterized by its ability to store previous inputs in its instantaneous state of network, which receives a correlated or uncorrelated noise. >>

<< Two major properties are revealed: First, the memory reduced by noise is uniquely determined by the noise's power spectral density (PSD). Second, the memory will not decrease regardless of noise intensity if the PSD is in a certain class of distribution (including power law). >>

# life: Trump-Musk, an evolution of the mjq model, one of the two attractors is a phantom entity

<< Elon Musk may be easing off his role at the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE ), but President Donald Trump isn't easing off his praise. >>

<< On Wednesday, Trump praised Musk's smarts and patriotism during an executive order signing in the Oval Office, brushing off critics and defending the tech mogul’s work on federal reform. >>

<< "He’s an incredible… brilliant guy," Trump said. "He was a tremendous help both in the campaign, and in what he's done with DOGE." >>

<< DOGE, launched in 2025, has served as a hallmark of Trump’s second-term agenda to cut waste, streamline federal agencies, and apply private sector principles to federal operations. >>

# gst: stochastic surfing turbulent vorticity.

<< The chaotic dynamics of small-scale vorticity plays a key role in understanding and controlling turbulence, with direct implications for energy transfer, mixing, and coherent structure evolution. >>

Here AA << use a combination of experiments, theory and simulations to show that small magnetic particles of different densities, exploring flow regions of distinct vorticity statistics, can act as effective probes for measuring and forcing turbulence at its smallest scale. The interplay between the magnetic torque, from an externally controllable magnetic field, and hydrodynamic stresses, from small-scale turbulent vorticity, reveals an extremely rich phenomenology. >>

Notably, AA << present the first observation of stochastic resonance for particles in turbulence: turbulent fluctuations, effectively acting as noise, counterintuitively enhance the particle rotational response to external forcing. (They) identify a pronounced resonant peak in particle rotational phase-lag when the applied magnetic field matches the characteristic intensity of small-scale vortices. >>

<< Furthermore, (They) uncover a novel symmetry-breaking mechanism: an oscillating magnetic field with zero-mean angular velocity remarkably induces net particle rotation in turbulence with zero-mean vorticity, as turbulent fluctuations aid the particle in "surfing" the magnetic field. >>

# gst: statistical mechanics of frustrated assemblies and incompatible graphs

<< Geometrically frustrated assemblies where building blocks misfit have been shown to generate intriguing phenomena from self-limited growth, fiber formation, to structural complexity. >>  

AA << introduce a graph theory formulation of geometrically frustrated assemblies, capturing frustrated interactions through the concept of incompatible flows, providing a direct link between structural connectivity and frustration. This theory offers a minimal yet comprehensive framework for the fundamental statistical mechanics of frustrated assemblies, and connects it to tensor gauge theory formulations of amorphous solids. >>

<< Through numerical simulations, the theory reveals new characteristics of frustrated assemblies, including two distinct percolation transitions for structure and incompatible flows, a crossover between cumulative and noncumulative frustration controlled by disorder, and a divergent length scale in their response. >>
