TL;DR: In this article, the authors combine the information gleaned from different theoretical models/studies to build a coherent picture of the Universe in its early stages which includes the physics of galaxy formation along with the impact that early structures had on large-scale processes such as cosmic reionization and metal enrichment of the intergalactic medium.

TL;DR: The content presented here offers a whole suite of methods to study epidemic-like processes in complex networks, both for researchers without previous experience in the subject and for experts.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors review all the models proposed for the progenitor systems of Type-Ia supernovae and discuss the strengths and weaknesses of each scenario when confronted with observations.

TL;DR: It is proposed that the conceptual cornerstone of this ambitious program be that of correlation, and the case of collective behavior in bird flocks is addressed, as two key threads emerge: the presence of scale-free correlations and the dynamical mechanism of information transfer.

TL;DR: A survey of the current understanding about polymer chain-folding and unfolding in lamellar crystals can be found in this article, where the origin of chainfolding was elaborated by the intramolecular crystal nucleation model, by means of free energy calculation of single chain crystallization.

TL;DR: In this paper, a simple 2D parameter space is introduced to classify models in terms of a particle physics interaction strength and a characteristic astrophysical scale on which new physics appears, in order to facilitate communication between the fields of particle physics and astronomy.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors review progress in the study of antinuclei, starting from Dirac's equation and the discovery of the positron in cosmic-ray events, and emphasize recent observations at Brookhaven's Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider and at CERN's Large Hadron Collider, namely, the antihypertriton and the antihelium-4.

TL;DR: A comprehensive overview of the applications of helium nanodroplets in the study of ensembles of atoms and molecules can be found in this article, where the authors provide a particularly detailed overview of many studies of ions, both positive and negative, that have been carried out in helium nano-plets.
