The Sitnikov problem is a classical problem broadly studied in physics which can represent an illustrative example of chaotic scattering. The relativistic version of this problem can be attacked by using the post-Newtonian formalism. Previous work focused on the role of the gravitational radius λ on the phase space portrait. Here we add two relevant issues on the influence of the gravitational radius in the context of chaotic scattering phenomena. First, we uncover a metamorphosis of the KAM islands for which the escape regions change insofar as λ increases. Second, there are two inflection points in the unpredictability of the final state of the system when λ≃0.02 and λ≃0.028. We analyze these inflection points in a quantitative manner by using the basin entropy. This work can be useful for a better understanding of the Sitnikov problem in the context of relativistic chaotic scattering. In addition, the described techniques can be applied to similar real systems, such as binary stellar systems, among others.

Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the interactions of core-shell microcapsules with solid boundaries, focusing on the short-range potential energy well created by tethered forces.
- The microcapsules, made of cinnamon oil and calcium alginate, were characterized in terms of size and surface charge, and their interactions with boundaries were measured using advanced imaging techniques.
- Findings revealed that these microcapsules create a mild 'sticky' interaction with boundaries, suggesting potential benefits for their use in consumer products.

The thermodynamics of black holes (BHs) and their corrections have become a hot topic in the study of gravitational physics, with significant progress made in recent decades. In this paper, we study the thermodynamics and corrections of spherically symmetric BHs in models f(R)=R+αR2 and f(R)=R+2γR+8Λ under the f(R) theory, which includes the electrodynamic field and the cosmological constant. Considering thermal fluctuations around equilibrium states, we find that, for both f(R) models, the corrected entropy is meaningful in the case of a negative cosmological constant (anti-de Sitter-RN spacetime) with Λ=-1.

In the electron Born self-energy (eBse) model, free electrons are of finite-size and possess both a rest mass, m, as well as, a Born mass, m = 74,000 m. The Born mass, which originates from the energy contained within the electric field that surrounds a finite-sized electron, serves as a Dark Matter (DM) particle in this theory (designated eBDM, electron Born Dark Matter). The equation of state for m is w = -1, which implies that two Born masses experience a repulsive gravitational interaction.

Article Synopsis
- The study examines the thermodynamics and statistical mechanics of self-gravitating systems, focusing on a binary star model with two gravitationally interacting particles in a confined space.
- It identifies a negative specific heat region in the microcanonical ensemble, which transitions to a first-order phase transition in the canonical ensemble, indicating complex energy states in the system.
- Using a Langevin equation, the research explores the transitions between 'dilute' and 'condensed' states of the particles, developing a Fokker-Planck approach to understand metastable states and their lifetimes based on energy barriers.
