Transverse Self-Propulsion Enhances the Aggregation of Active Dumbbells
We investigate a two-dimensional system of active Brownian dumbbells using molecular dynamics simulations. In this model, each dumbbell is driven by an active force oriented perpendicular to the axis connecting its two constituent beads. We characterize the resulting phase behavior and find that, across all values of activity, the system undergoes phase separation between dilute and dense phases. The dense phase exhibits hexatic order, and for large enough activity, we observe a marked increase…

Russia uses new range extender to deploy glide bombs against Ukrainian civilians.
Another day, another litany of war crimes and cruelty as Russia wages its genocide against the Ukrainian people.
Corporate media will downplay or distort what is happening in Ukraine, and they don't even bother to go see the truth - they just lie and support the evil.
