The human eye is bored by monotonous landscapes. We are depressed by gray skies,
unending plains under the wing of an airliner, featureless urban sprawl, geometric …

Braiding of topological structures in complex matter fields provides a robust framework for
encoding and processing information, and it has been extensively studied in the context of …

Intermittent behavior is shown to appear in a system of self-driven interacting particles. In the
ordered phase, most particles move in the same approximate direction, but the system …

A reference and text, Dissipative Phenomena treats the broadly applicable area of
nonequilibrium statistical physics and concentrates the modelling and characterization of …

Superstatistics are superpositions of different statistics relevant for driven nonequilibrium
systems with spatiotemporal inhomogeneities of an intensive variable (eg, the inverse …

The observed distributions of stellar parameters, in particular, rotational and radial velocities,
often depart from the Maxwellian (Gaussian) distribution. In the absence of a consistent …

We derive a model describing spatiotemporal organization of an array of microtubules
interacting via molecular motors. Starting from a stochastic model of inelastic polar rods with …

Spiral wave chimeras with spatially extended unsynchronized cores have been reported in
nonlocally coupled phase oscillators and chaotic oscillators. Here, we investigate the two …

We study the defect solutions of the nonreciprocal Cahn-Hilliard model. We find two kinds of
defects, spirals with unit magnitude topological charge, and topologically neutral targets …

Distributions different from those predicted by equilibrium statistical mechanics are
commonplace in a number of physical situations, such as plasmas and self-gravitating …
