  • Faceting and Flattening of Emulsion Droplets: A Mechanical Model

    Author(s): Ireth García-Aguilar, Piermarco Fonda, Eli Sloutskin, and Luca Giomi Researchers uncover the mechanism that makes some oil droplets change shape from spheres to icosahedrons to flattened plates. [Phys. Rev. Lett. 126, 038001] Published Thu Jan 21, 2021

  • Many-Body Chaos in the Sachdev-Ye-Kitaev Model

    Author(s): Bryce Kobrin, Zhenbin Yang, Gregory D. Kahanamoku-Meyer, Christopher T. Olund, Joel E. Moore, Douglas Stanford, and Norman Y. Yao A numerical technique allows the verification of analytical bounds for the SYK model and the investigation of chaotic behavior in generic quantum many-body systems of high dimensions. [Phys. Rev. Lett. 126, 030602] Published Wed Jan 20, 2021

  • Transport of a Single Cold Ion Immersed in a Bose-Einstein Condensate

    Author(s): T. Dieterle, M. Berngruber, C. Hölzl, R. Löw, K. Jachymski, T. Pfau, and F. Meinert Direct observation of an ion moving through a Bose-Einstein condensate identifies the effect of ion-atom collisions on charge transport in an ultracold gas. [Phys. Rev. Lett. 126, 033401] Published Tue Jan 19, 2021

  • High-Frequency Acoustic Droplet Vaporization is Initiated by Resonance
