Minimum entropy production by microswimmers with internal dissipation
Nature Communications, 2023 The energy dissipation and entropy production by self-propelled microswimmers differ profoundly from passive particles pulled by external forces.

The Self-Organization of Speech Sounds [PDF]
, 2005 The speech code is a vehicle of language: it defines a set of forms used by a community to carry information. Such a code is necessary to support the linguistic interactions that allow humans to communicate. How then may a speech code be formed prior to

Guided self-organization [PDF]
HFSP Journal, 2009 Typically, self-organization is defined as the evolution of a system into an organized form in the absence of external pressures. A broad definition of self-organization is given by Haken (2006).

Mechanosensitive Self-Replication Driven by Self-Organization [PDF]
, 2010 Self-replicating molecules are likely to have played an important role in the origin of life, and a small number of fully synthetic self-replicators have already been described.

Sustainable and convenient: Bi-modal public transit systems outperforming the private car
Multimodal Transportation, 2023 Mobility is an indispensable part of modern human societies, but the dominance of motorized individual traffic (MIV, i.e., the private car) leads to a prohibitive waste of energy as well as other resources.

Schneefernerhaus as a mountain research station for clouds and turbulence [PDF]
Atmospheric Measurement Techniques, 2015 Cloud measurements are usually carried out with airborne campaigns, which are expensive and are limited by temporal duration and weather conditions. Ground-based measurements at high-altitude research stations therefore play a complementary role in cloud

Contact numbers in packings of frictional cylinders [PDF]
EPJ Web of ConferencesThe mechanical stability of a granular system depends on the average number of contacts Z between its particles. For most particle shapes, predicting Z as a function of the average volume fraction ϕ is complicated by the spatial correlations between ...

Interplay Between Risk Perception, Behavior, and COVID-19 Spread
Frontiers in Physics, 2022 Pharmaceutical and non-pharmaceutical interventions (NPIs) have been crucial for controlling COVID-19. They are complemented by voluntary health-protective behavior, building a complex interplay between risk perception, behavior, and disease spread.

Self-organization of hydrophobic soil and granular surfaces [PDF]
, 2007 Soil can become extremely water repellent following forest fires or oil spillages, thus preventing penetration of water and increasing runoff and soil erosion. Here the authors show that evaporation of a droplet from the surface of a hydrophobic granular
