A sequential of concepts developed in last decade has enabled a resolution to multiple anomalies of water ice and its low-dimensionality, particularly. Developed concepts include the coupled hydrogen bond (O:H−O) oscillator pair, segmental specific heat, three-body coupling potentials, quasisolidity, and supersolidity.…

Grown via Size-Selected Cluster Deposition: An Experimental and Theoretical High-Resolution Core-Level Photoemission Study Authors: ['Luca Sbuelz' 'Federico Loi' 'Monica Pozzo' 'Luca Bignardi' 'Eugenio Nicolini' 'Paolo Lacovig' 'Ezequiel Tosi' 'Silvano Lizzit' 'Aras Kartouzian' 'Ueli Heiz' 'Dario Alfé' 'Alessandro…

Undercoordinated water molecules are referred to those with fewer than four nearest neighbors as they occur in the bulk interior of water [1-6]. Molecular undercoordination occurs in the terminated O:H-O bonded networks, in the skin of a large volume of water and ice, in hydration shells, molecular clusters, ultrathin…

'Ji Zhou' 'Chang Q. Sun'] We present recent progress in understanding the anomalous behavior of water ice under mechanical compression, thermal excitation, and molecular undercoordination (with fewer than four neighbors in the bulk) from the perspective of hydrogen (O:H-O) bond cooperative relaxation. Extending the Ice…

Even more fascinating than the bulk parent, water droplets possess the extraordinary catalytic capability, chemical reactivity, elastic adaptivity, hydrophobicity, hydro-voltaicity, sensitivity, thermal stability, and so forth, with an elusive underlying mechanism. We show that molecular undercoordination polarizes the…

Multi-robot teams must coordinate to operate effectively. When a team operates in an uncoordinated manner, and agents choose actions that are only individually optimal, the team's outcome can suffer. However, in many domains, coordination requires costly communication. We explore the value of coordination in a broad…

Coordinated collective behaviors often emerge from simple rules governing the interactions of individuals in groups. We model mechanisms of coordination among ants during cooperative transport, a challenging task that requires a consensus on travel direction. Decisions required for cooperative transport differ from…

Patterns on Amorphous Surfaces Authors: ['Mattia Turchi' 'Sandra Galmarini' 'Ivan Lunati'] The physicochemical heterogeneity found on amorphous surfaces leads to a complex interaction of adsorbate molecules with topological and undercoordinated defects, which enhance the adsorption capacity and can participate in…

Software development projects have undergone remarkable changes with the arrival of agile development methods. While intended for small, self-managing teams, these methods are increasingly used also for large development programs. A major challenge in programs is to coordinate the work of many teams, due to high…

Coordination is a multidisciplinary concept in human movement science, particularly in the field of biomechanics and motor control. However, the term is not used synonymously by researchers and has substantially different meanings depending on the studies. Therefore, it is necessary to clarify the meaning of…

Coordinated actions are fundamental to human behavior. Even without explicit communication, stable coordination patterns and implicit leadership roles can emerge. This study examines the dynamic nature of leadership and its impact on perceptuomotor learning in a dyadic coordination task. Paired participants (dyads)…

The ability to coordinate movements between the hands is crucial for many daily tasks. However, the precise mechanisms governing the storage and utilization of bimanual movement and the distinct contributions of each limb in this process are currently not fully understood. Two key questions persist: 1) How is the…

Research regarding interpersonal coordination can be traced back to the early 1960s when video recording began to be utilized in communication studies. Since then, technological advances have extended the range of techniques that can be used to accurately study interactional phenomena. Although such a diversity of…

A hallmark of successful evolution resides in the ability to adapt our actions to those of others, optimizing collective behaviour, to achieve goals otherwise unattainable by individuals acting alone. We have previously shown that macaques constitute a good model to analyse joint behavior, since they are able to…
