We revisit the field-free Ising model on a square lattice with up to third-neighbor (NNNN) interactions, also known as the J1-J2-J3 model, in the mean-field approximation. Using a systematic enumeration procedure, we show ...

Cross-cultural analysis is all about comparing groups. Whether the groups being compared are countries, ethnicities, religions, or scientific fields, the goal is always to assess whether these groups differ in some respect ...

We here study the Battle of the Sexes game, a textbook case of asymmetric games, on small networks. Due to the conflicting preferences of the players, analytical approaches are scarce and most often update strategies are ...

The formation of a stable complex between proteins lies at the core of a wide variety of biological processes and has been the focus of countless experiments. The huge amount of information contained in the protein structural ...

Low-valent silicon compounds such as neutral silylenes display versatile reactivity for the activation of small molecules. In contrast, their anionic congeners silanides ([R3Si−]) have primarily been investigated for their ...

Catalytic olefin hydrogenation is ubiquitous in organic synthesis. In most proposed homogeneous catalytic cycles, reactive M–H bonds are generated either by oxidative addition of H2 to a metal centre or by deprotonation ...

As ever more advanced digital systems are created, it becomes increasingly likely that some of these systems will be digital minds, i.e. digital subjects of experience. With digital minds comes the risk of digital suffering. ...
