Application of the Three-Group Model to the 2024 US Elections

Entropy
Political polarization in Western democracies has accelerated in the last decade, with negative social consequences. Research across disciplines on antecedents, manifestations and societal impacts is hindered by social systems’ complexity: their constant

Adaptive Twisting Metamaterials

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
This work introduces torque‐controlled twisting metamaterials as a transformative platform for adaptive crashworthiness. By combining multiscale predictive modeling with experimental validation on additively manufactured gyroids, it demonstrates tunable stiffness, collapse stress, and energy absorption.

Construction of an Optimal Strategy: An Analytic Insight Through Path Integral Control Driven by a McKean–Vlasov Opinion Dynamics

Mathematics
In this paper, we have constructed a closed-form optimal strategy within a social network using stochastic McKean–Vlasov dynamics. Each agent independently minimizes their dynamic cost functional, driven by stochastic differential opinion dynamics. These

OPINION Epigenome dynamics

Nature Reviews Genetics, 2008
Classically, quantitative geneticists have envisioned DNA sequence variants as the only source of heritable phenotypes. This view should be revised in light of accumulating evidence for widespread epigenetic variation in natural and experimental populations.

Nature‐Inspired Design Strategies for Efficient Atmospheric Water Harvesting

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
This review presents advances in bioinspired atmospheric water harvesting systems, emphasizing how structural motifs such as wettability gradients, directional transport, and hierarchical porosity have been translated into engineered fog‐collection and vapor‐sorption strategies for enhanced water uptake, accelerated transport, and energy‐efficient ...

Modification of Self‐Assembled Monolayers by Electron Irradiation as a Tool for Surface Engineering, Lithography, and Nanofabrication

Advanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.
This study reviews the relevant work regarding the modification of self‐assembled monolayers (SAMs) by electron irradiation. Both fundamental aspects and the related implications and applications are addressed. The latter includes tuning SAM properties, preparation of binary SAMs, conventional and chemical lithography, carbon nanomembranes, control of ...

LOMDP: Maximizing Desired Opinions in Social Networks by Considering User Expression Intentions

Entropy
To address the problem of maximizing desired opinions in social networks, we present the Limited Opinion Maximization with Dynamic Propagation Optimization framework, which is grounded in information entropy theory. Innovatively, we introduce the concept

Interacting Agents and Continuous Opinions Dynamics

, 2001
We present a model of opinion dynamics in which agents adjust continuous opinions as a result of random binary encounters whenever their difference in opinion is below a given threshold.
