Moreover, they offer several experimentally testable hypotheses; including pattern hysteresis upon cycling external stimuli, diverse pattern morphology near critical points, and non-monotonic dependence of the domain size on osmotic pressure. (3/4)

They model pattern formation (of small domains) in biological membranes by local coupling between lipid bilayer curvature and composition. The morphology of patterns varies with membrane lipid composition, following a complex morphological diagram, in good agreement with experimental results. (2/4)

Amorphous Ice Is Partly Crystalline Evidence builds against the long-held notion that water ice can be truly glassy.

Freeze water rapidly below 0 °C, and you get a disordered glass-like solid called low-density amorphous (LDA) ice. Since LDA ice’s discovery 90 years ago, its atomic-scale structure has remained contested. Now researchers have shown that LDA ice is not a true glass but is partly crystalline.

Please reach out to @douglasdurian.bsky.social at djdurian@physics.upenn.edu or other officers or members of the Nominations Committee with questions or nomination suggestions.

Self-nomination: fill out this form by Labor Day (September 1st, 2025) apsphysics.fillout.com/t/x3o2JJP6m3us
