APS DSNP

The call for next month is open to all early career members (students and postdocs) working in #statistical and #nonlinear #physics. Submit your entry today! (4/4)

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)

APS recognizes and celebrates the accomplishments of the global physics community. We encourage nominations that reflect the full range of talent, distinction, and experience in our field, and supports broad professional achievement across diverse backgrounds and expertise.

Dissertation Award in Statistical and Nonlinear Physics The American Physical Society is a nonprofit membership organization working to advance physics by fostering a vibrant, inclusive, and global community dedicated to science and society.

Applications for the DSNP 2025 Dissertation Award are open until September 1st, 2025!
Apply here aps.org/funding-reco...
The award consists of $2,000, travel reimbursement, and a registration waiver to attend the next APS Global Summit as an invited speaker. Read more below.

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

This model-free approach holds the potential to generate successful policies directly from the growth rate, making it highly relevant for clinical settings. (3/4)

They apply reinforcement learning (RL) to adjust dosing strategies to control cell populations evolving under novel non-Markovian dynamics (processes with memory). The applications range from cancer to bacterial systems with long-term memory. (2/4)
