A statistical physics view of swarming bacteria [PDF]
Movement Ecology, 2019 Bacterial swarming is a collective mode of motion in which cells migrate rapidly over surfaces, forming dynamic patterns of whirls and jets. This review presents a physical point of view of swarming bacteria, with an emphasis on the statistical ...

Inferring potential landscapes from noisy trajectories of particles within an optical feedback trap
iScience, 2022 Summary: While particle trajectories encode information on their governing potentials, potentials can be challenging to robustly extract from trajectories.

iScience, 2022 Summary: Quantifying uncertainty associated with our models is the only way we can express how much we know about any phenomenon. Incomplete consideration of model-based uncertainties can lead to overstated conclusions with real-world impacts in diverse ...

Possible route to efficient thermoelectric applications in a driven fractal network
Scientific Reports, 2021 An essential attribute of many fractal structures is self-similarity. A Sierpinski gasket (SPG) triangle is a promising example of a fractal lattice that exhibits localized energy eigenstates.

Statistical physics of balance theory. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2017 Triadic relationships are accepted to play a key role in the dynamics of social and political networks. Building on insights gleaned from balance theory in social network studies and from Boltzmann-Gibbs statistical physics, we propose a model to ...

Wang--Landau algorithm for entropic sampling of arch-based microstates in the volume ensemble of static granular packings [PDF]
Papers in Physics, 2015 We implement the Wang-Landau algorithm to sample with equal probabilities the static configurations of a model granular system. The "non-interacting rigid arch model" used is based on the description of static configurations by means of splitting the ...

The statistical physics of Schelling model
上海师范大学学报. 自然科学版, 2023 Social segregation is one of the typical phenomena that emerge from human society as complex systems. Thomas C. Schelling (1921—2016) proposed his famous model, Schelling model, to explain social segregation as early as 1971. For more than half a century,
