    This theoretical framework extends evolutionary game theory to account for payoff fluctuations driven by stochastic changes in social conditions. It shows that unbiased experimental noise can cause dynamical phenomena not present in the classical setting: go.aps.org/4c8vhfe
    Two graphs classify all behavior outcomes for two by two games. The left shows noise-free environments. The right shows noisy environments. The left is organized into a grid. There are two rectangles for the harmony game, both of which are yellow to indicate cooperation. There are two green rectangles for the prisoner’s dilemma, which are green to indicate defection. A purple grid for the coordination game indicates cooperation or defection. A blue rectangle for the snowdrift game indicates coexistence. The right graph is much more chaotic, with each area forming different shapes. There is also a red area that indicates defection or coexistence, an orange area that indicates cooperation or coexistence, and a teal area that indicates bistable coexistence.

    A new theoretical study reveals the existence of a universal singularity in three-point density correlations of interacting Fermi liquids, offering an independent method for measuring the Landau parameters that characterize the Fermi-liquid phase. 🔗 go.aps.org/4gU972N
    Schematic depicting the long-range collinear correlation in real space at the top, which roughly looks like two almond-shaped red and blue blurs with white stars on them, labeled r1 and r2, and a very faint red and blue pattern between them labeled r3. Below on the left is the associated momentum space triangle formed by three green lines, q1, q2, and q3, which have arrows pointed in the clockwise direction and are connected by blue dots. The long-wavelength collinear limit, q⊥, is shown in the middle. On the right is a plot of ⟨⍴⍴⍴⟩c on the y-axis as a function of q⊥ on the x-axis. Two black dashed lines run diagonally from the origin, representing the |q⊥| singularity, and their smoothing, |q⊥| ≲ O(|q|2/𝜿F), is shown by an overlapping solid orange line that diverges in a soft curve at the bottom.

    A 500-hour survey of the Galactic Center by @hesstelescopes has set the most stringent limits to date on teraelectron dark matter line annihilation cross sections. Read the Letter: go.aps.org/4hYckPY
    A graph with mDM [TeV] on the x axis and ⟨sigma v⟩ line [cm3 s-1] on the y axis. A black line shows the upper limits on the dark matter particle annihilation cross-section from H.E.S.S. observations of the Milky Way. Blue, green, and red dots highlight the thermal mass and theoretical cross-section values three specific dark matter models — Higgsino, Wino and Quintuplet — respectively.

    New research shows that altermagnetic topological superconductivity and Majorana zero modes can emerge from quasi-1D nanowires and vortex-line heterostructures using crystal anisotropy and quantum confinement as tuning parameters. Read the paper: go.aps.org/3UBc67F
    A schematic shows altermagnetism-induced Bogoliubov Fermi surfaces for topological superconductivity with crystal anisotropy and quantum confinement as control knobs. Panel (a) shows the anisotropic surface states in an altermagnetic topological insulator (AMTI). A cube has lateral faces with green and orange double cones and a top face with overlapping red and blue ovals. Above is a 3D plot with energy Ek versus kx and ky. Panel (b) shows a quasi-1D triangular prism nanowire of the AMTI-superconductor heterostructure hosting a pair of Majorana zero modes, 𝛄1 and 𝛄2, at either end. An inset shows energy levels driven by altermagnetic order strength 𝑡𝐴𝑀 inside the superconducting gap Δ. Panel (c) shows an AMTI-superconductor hybrid structure with a vortex line hosting Majorana zero modes at the vortex core or side surfaces. An inset shows the energy spectrum with the evolution of Bogoliubov Fermi surfaces to discrete surface energy levels as a function of chemical potential 𝜇.

    This Letter provides a comprehensive look at the collective magnetic excitations in a photoexcited cuprate across the domains of energy, momentum, and time using the tr-RIXS machine at @EuropeanXFEL. Read the results: go.aps.org/4qGlfIj
    Figure with two parts. The left part shows an energy-momentum RIXS intensity map. Energy loss is on the Y axis. Measurements appear as blue and red dots. The right part shows a waterfall plot of RIXS spectra. Red markers indicate the paramagnon peak and blue markers indicate the plasmon peak.
