We study theoretically the collective dynamics of particles driven by an optical vortex along a circular path. Phase equations of N particles are derived by taking into account both hydrodynamic and repulsive interactions between them. For N=2, the particles attract with each other and synchronize, forming a doublet that moves faster than a singlet. For N=3 and 5, we find periodic rearrangement of doublets and a singlet. For N=4 and 6, the system exhibits either a periodic oscillating state or a stable synchronized state depending on the initial conditions. These results reproduce main features of previous experimental findings. We quantitatively discuss the mechanisms governing the nontrivial collective dynamics.

Gene‒gene interactions play pivotal roles in disease pathogenesis and are fundamental in the development of targeted therapeutics, particularly through the elucidation of oncogenic gene drivers in cancer. The systematic analysis of pathways and gene interactions is critical in the drug discovery process for various cancer subtypes. SPAG5, known for its role in spindle formation during cell division, has been identified as an oncogene in several cancers, although its specific impact on AML remains underexplored.

The outcomes of ecological invasions may depend on either characteristics of the invading species or attributes of the resident community. Here we use a combination of experiments and theory to show that the interplay between dynamics, interaction strength and diversity determine the invasion outcome in microbial communities. We find that the communities with fluctuating species abundances are more invasible and diverse than stable communities, leading to a positive diversity-invasibility relationship among communities assembled in the same environment.

We analytically solve the Landau-Lifshitz equations for the collective magnetization dynamics in a synthetic antiferromagnet (SAF) nanoparticle and uncover a regime of barrier-free switching under a short small-amplitude magnetic field pulse applied perpendicular to the SAF plane. We give examples of specific implementations for forming such low-power and ultra-fast switching pulses. For fully optical, resonant, barrier-free SAF switching we estimate the power per write operation to be pJ, 10-100 times smaller than for conventional quasi-static rotation, which should be attractive for memory applications.

Some real-world phenomena and human-made problems have been modeled as networks where the objects form pairwise interactions. However, this is a limited approach when the existence of high-order interactions is inherent in a system, such as the brain, social networks and ecosystems. The way in which these high-order interactions affect the collective behavior of a complex system is still an open question.

This review examines factors catalyzing citizens' participation in Renewable Energy Communities (RECs), crucial for sustainable energy transitions. We analyze the interplay of individual and community elements promoting involvement in these collective projects. Individual drivers include pro-environmental values, economic incentives, desire for energy autonomy, and technical knowledge.
