We consider rapid cooling processes in classical, three-dimensional, purely repulsive binary mixtures in which an initial infinite-temperature (ideal-gas) configuration is instantly quenched to zero temperature. It is found that such systems display two kinds of ordering processes, the type of which can be controlled by tuning the interactions between unlike particles. While strong inter-species repulsion leads to chemical ordering in terms of an unmixing process, weak repulsion gives rise to spontaneous crystallization, maintaining chemical homogeneity. This result indicates the existence of a transition in the topography of the underlying potential-energy landscape as the intra-species interaction strength is varied. Furthermore, the dual-type behavior appears to be universal for repulsive pair-interaction potential-energy functions in general, with the propensity for the crystallization process being related to their behavior in the neighborhood of zero separation.

We introduce a novel neuromorphic network architecture based on a lattice of exciton-polariton condensates, intricately interconnected and energized through nonresonant optical pumping. The network employs a binary framework, where each neuron, facilitated by the spatial coherence of pairwise coupled condensates, performs binary operations. This coherence, emerging from the ballistic propagation of polaritons, ensures efficient, network-wide communication.

Materials with high crystallographic symmetry are supposed to be good thermoelectrics because they have high valley degeneracy () and superb carrier mobility (μ). Binary GeSe crystallizes in a low-symmetry orthorhombic structure accompanying the stereoactive 4s lone pairs of Ge. Herein, we rationally modify GeSe into a high-symmetry rhombohedral structure by alloying with GeTe based on the valence-shell electron-pair repulsion theory.

Recent experimental studies in the awake brain have identified a rule for synaptic plasticity that is instrumental for the instantaneous creation of memory traces in area CA1 of the mammalian brain: Behavioral Time scale Synaptic Plasticity. This one-shot learning rule differs in five essential aspects from previously considered plasticity mechanisms. We introduce a transparent model for the core function of this learning rule and establish a theory that enables a principled understanding of the system of memory traces that it creates.

Facial emotion recognition (FER) can serve as a valuable tool for assessing emotional states, which are often linked to mental health. However, mental health encompasses a broad range of factors that go beyond facial expressions. While FER provides insights into certain aspects of emotional well-being, it can be used in conjunction with other assessments to form a more comprehensive understanding of an individual's mental health.

Graph Neural Networks (GNNs) have achieved great success in semi-supervised learning. Existing GNNs typically aggregate the features via message passing with the aid of rich labels. However, real-world graphs have limited labels, and overfitting weakens the classification ability when labels are insufficient.
