Mar 22 2024Syracuse University Erin McCarthy '23, physics summa cum laude, is a rarity among young scientists. As an undergraduate researcher in Syracuse University's College of Arts & Sciences' Department of Physics, she guided a study that appeared in March 2024 in Physical Review Letters. It is the most-cited physics letters journal and the eighth-most cited journal in science overall.
M. Lisa Manning, co-author, the William R. Kenan, Jr. Professor of Physics and founding director of the BioInspired Institute at Syracuse University The research team used computational physics modeling to figure out the underlying mechanisms that cause particles to sort spontaneously into different groups.
Related StoriesPrevious physics investigations found that particles separate when some receive a jolt of higher temperature. As one population of particles becomes injected with energy at a small scale, it turns active-;or "hot"-;while the other population is left inactive, or "cold." This difference in heat causes a reorganization among the two populations.
"Your skin, for instance, is a very dense environment," said McCarthy. "Cells are packed so closely together, there's no space between them. If we want to apply these physics findings to biology, we must look at high densities for our models to be applicable. But at very high densities, the difference in activity between two populations does not cause them to sort."

Study offers insights into neural mechanisms involved in progression from aggressive motivation to actionThe social behaviors of humans and animals often unfold over two distinct phases, namely a motivational and an action phase. The first of these phases entails instinctual and reward-seeking mental states, characterized by sexual or aggressive drives to perform specific actions. The second phase entails acting on these motivations and drives.
