TL;DR: It is discovered that Atm protein deficiency, which in humans leads to progressive motor impairment, leads to a reduced synchronization persistence compared to wild type synchronization, after chemically imposed DNA damage.

TL;DR: By increasing the Fresnel number F of a ring cavity with photorefractive gain, the transition between a low F regime where few modes compete with a regular (periodic alternation) or irregular (chaotic itinerancy) time patterns, and a high F regime, where many modes oscillate simultaneously, giving rise to chaotic domains spatially correlated over a length much shorter than the wavefront size, was shown in this article.

TL;DR: Evidence is given that pruning the largest-degree nodes of a growing scale-free network has the effect of decreasing the degree correlation coefficient in a controllable and tunable way, while keeping both the trait of a power-law degree distribution and the main properties of network's resilience and robustness under failures or attacks.

TL;DR: In this article, it is shown that at the microscopic level, synchronization is captured through a gradual process of topological adjustment in phase space, in which the strange attractors of the two coupled systems continuously converge, taking similar form, until complete topological synchronization ensues.

TL;DR: It is reported that explosive synchronization of networked oscillators is related to self-similarity of synchronous clusters of different size, revealed by destructing the network synchronous state during the backward transition and observed with the decrease of the coupling strength between the nodes of the network.
