Laning is a paradigmatic example of spontaneous organization in active two-component flows that has been observed in diverse contexts, including pedestrian traffic, driven colloids, complex plasmas, and molecular transport. We introduce a kinetic theory that elucidates the physical origins of laning and quantifies the propensity for lane nucleation in a given physical system. Our theory is valid in the low-density regime, and it makes different predictions about situations in which lanes may form that are not parallel with the direction of flow. We report on experiments with human crowds that verify two notable consequences of this phenomenon: tilting lanes under broken chiral symmetry and lane nucleation along elliptic, parabolic, and hyperbolic curves in the presence of sources or sinks.

Local Droplet Etching with Indium Droplets on InP(100) by Metal-Organic Vapor Phase Epitaxy.

The local droplet etching (LDE) by using indium droplets on bare InP(100) surfaces is demonstrated in a metal-organic vapor phase epitaxy (MOVPE) environment for the first time. The role of an arsenic flow applied to self-assembled metallic indium droplets is systematically studied. Increasing the arsenic supply leads to the formation of ring-like nanostructures and nanoholes.

Article Synopsis
- - The study explores how different solvents affect the crystallization and polymorphic forms of ritonavir, a drug used for treating AIDS, finding that rapid cooling leads to the unstable form I in certain solvents while ethanol favors the stable form II.
- - Isothermal crystallization experiments indicate that higher solubility in specific solvents reduces the driving force required for nucleation, confirming a consistent pattern with theoretical predictions on solvation behavior.
- - Molecular dynamics simulations reveal that solvent choice impacts conformational interactions in the solution phase, which may hinder nucleation and interfere with the formation of stable hydrogen bonds necessary for producing form II of the drug.

Article Synopsis
- Eccentric exercise can harm muscles, decreasing workout effectiveness; this study explores if Sodium salicylate (SS) can help repair aged muscles after such damage.
- Experiments involved inducing muscle damage in mice through eccentric treadmill exercise, followed by plasma analysis and muscle tissue assessments to measure damage markers and inflammation.
- Results showed that SS reduced muscle damage indicators and inflammatory responses in the muscles, suggesting it may aid recovery from eccentric exercise injuries in mice.

The ability to control crystal nucleation through the simple addition of a nucleating agent (nucleant) is desirable for a huge range of applications. However, effective nucleating agents are known for only a small number of systems, and many questions remain about the mechanisms by which they operate. Here, we explore the features that make an effective nucleant and demonstrate that the biological material hair-which naturally possesses a chemically and topographically complex surface structure-has excellent potential as an effective nucleating agent.
