Conformity and Mass Media Influence in the Sznajd Model on Regular Lattices
EntropyThe polarization of opinions and difficulties in reaching a consensus are central problems of many modern societies. Understanding the dynamics governing those processes is, therefore, one of the main aims of sociophysics.

Nature‐Inspired Sustainable Cooling for Photovoltaics with Enhanced Temperature‐Salinity Dynamics
Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.Addressing solar panel overheating, a nature‐inspired cooling system mimicking ocean currents is developed. A moisture‐absorbing solution layer uses sunlight, radiative cooling, and moisture processes to create temperature/salinity gradients, accelerating circulation. The prototype cools panels by up to 18.2 °C under sunlight, sustains cooling, rapidly

The Opinion Dynamics on the Evolving Complex Network by Achlioptas Process
IEEE Access, 2019 The interactions of opinions on the complex networks are significantly impacted by the structure of the networks. Previous studies of this kind mainly investigated the opinion dynamics on the fixed networks as a kind of synchronization. In this study, we

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.

Identifying Opinion Leaders on Social Networks Through Milestones Definition
IEEE Access, 2019 A key problem in social network analysis is identifying influential users within a social network. To address this problem, numerous centrality measures have been defined to automatically state rankings of the users.

Tangled Worldview Model of Opinion Dynamics
Frontiers in Physics, 2019 We study the joint evolution of worldviews by proposing a model of opinion dynamics, which is inspired in notions from evolutionary ecology. Agents update their opinion on a specific issue based on their propensity to change—asserted by the social ...

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.Circular photogalvanic effect measurements and first‐principles calculations reveal spin‐splitting states in solution‐processed bournonite films (CuPbSbS3) due to structural and bulk inversion asymmetry. The results provide experimental confirmation of coexisting Rashba and Dresselhaus spin‐splitting states in this non‐centrosymmetric chalcogenide ...
