TL;DR: In this article, the authors report parametrically excited torsional oscillations in a single-crystal silicon microelectromechanical system, which can provide a unique testing ground for dynamical phenomena that are difficult to detect in macroscopic systems.

TL;DR: This paper proposes a novel, fine-grained approach to regional delineation, based on analyzing networks of billions of individual human transactions, and shows how to partition the area into smaller, non-overlapping regions while minimizing the disruption to each person's links.

TL;DR: It is concluded that grown graphs, however randomly they are constructed, are fundamentally different from their static random graph counterparts.

TL;DR: In this paper, the circuit equations for certain series arrays of Josephson junctions can be mapped onto a simple model originally introduced by Kuramoto [in Proceedings of the International Symposium on Mathematical Problems in Theoretical Physics, edited by H Araki, Lecture Notes in Physics Vol 39 (Springer, Berlin, 1975)] to study fundamental aspects of frequency locking in large populations of nonlinear oscillators.

TL;DR: A generalization of the Kuramoto model in which the oscillators are coupled to the mean field with random signs, which displays a traveling wave, in whichThe mean field oscillates at a frequency different from the population's mean natural frequency.
