Article Abstract
We introduce a one-parametric family of tree growth models, in which branching probabilities decrease with branch age τ as τ(-α). Depending on the exponent α, the scaling of tree depth with tree size n displays a transition between the logarithmic scaling of random trees and an algebraic growth. At the transition (α=1) tree depth grows as (logn)(2). This anomalous scaling is in good agreement with the trend observed in evolution of biological species, thus providing a theoretical support for age-dependent speciation and associating it to the occurrence of a critical point.

Introducing dynamic covalent chemistries into polymer networks allows access to complex linear viscoelasticity, owing to the reversible nature of the dynamic bonds. While this macroscopic mechanical behavior is influenced by the dynamic exchange of these chemistries, connecting the microscopic dynamics to the bulk properties is hindered by the time scale conventional techniques can observe. Here, light scattering passive microrheology is applied to probe short-time dynamics of dynamic covalent networks that consist of telechelic benzalcyanoacetate (BCA) Michael acceptors and thiol-functionalized cross-linkers.

We report an anomalous temperature-induced transition in thermal conductivity in the germanene monolayer around a critical temperature = 350 K. Equilibrium molecular dynamics simulations reveal a transition from ∼ scaling below the to ∼ above, contrasting with conventional ∼ behavior. This anomalous scaling correlates with the long-scale characteristic timescale obtained from double exponential fitting of the heat current autocorrelation function.

Extreme rainfall during the Indian Summer Monsoon (ISM) accounts for approximately 27 % of the total seasonal rainfall. Most of this moisture is transported from the Indian Ocean. Amid ongoing warming of the Indian Ocean, 2023 stood out as one of the warmest monsoon years on record.

This study presents a method for in situ analysis of the adsorption and desorption of polymers on the nanoparticle surface within entangled polymer solutions. This method is based on the principle that when a polymer adsorbs onto the nanoparticle surface, the diffusion coefficient of the polymer becomes equivalent to that of the nanoparticle. Consequently, adsorption events can be identified by properly detecting diffusion-state transitions in trajectories acquired through single-molecule fluorescence tracking experiments.

To describe Ag-HO hybrid systems, a new SCC-DFTB parameterization is introduced by generating Ag-X, O-X, and H-X (X = Ag, O, H) pair parameters using the density functional-based tight binding (DFTB) module in Materials Studio 2020. We verify the accuracy of the parameters designated as DFTB-AgOH by juxtaposing them with the outcomes of DFT-DMOL3 and DFTB-HYB for several Ag systems, including clusters ( = 2, 4, 6, 11, 17, 22), monolayer surfaces ( = 9, 16, 25, 37, 49), a bilayer (Ag), and Ag-HO complexes. The new parameters align closely with DFT-DMOL3 for morphology, energy, and electronic properties.
