The concept of hyperuniformity has been a useful tool in the study of density fluctuations at large length scales in systems ranging across the natural and mathematical sciences. One can rank a large class of hyperuniform systems by their ability to suppress long-range density fluctuations through the use of a hyperuniformity order metric Λ¯. We apply this order metric to the Barlow packings, which are the infinitely degenerate densest packings of identical rigid spheres that are distinguished by their stacking geometries and include the commonly known fcc lattice and hcp crystal. The “stealthy stacking” theorem implies that these packings are all stealthy hyperuniform, a strong type of hyperuniformity, which involves the suppression of scattering up to a wave vector K. We describe the geometry of three classes of Barlow packings, two disordered classes and small-period packings. In addition, we compute a lower bound on K for all Barlow packings. We compute Λ¯ for the aforementioned three classes of Barlow packings and find that, to a very good approximation, it is linear in the fraction of fcc-like clusters, taking values between those of least-ordered hcp and most-ordered fcc. This implies that the value of Λ¯ of all Barlow packings is primarily controlled by the local cluster geometry. These results highlight the special nature of anisotropic stacking disorder, which provides impetus for future research on the development of anisotropic order metrics and hyperuniformity properties.

Combination antiretroviral therapy controls human immunodeficiency virus-1 (HIV) but cannot eradicate latent proviruses in immune cells, which reactivate upon treatment interruption. Anti-latency therapies like “shock-and-kill” are being developed but are yet to succeed due to the complexity of latency mechanisms. This review discusses recent advances in understanding HIV latency via mathematical modeling, covering key regulatory factors and models to predict latency reversal, highlighting gaps to guide future therapeutic approaches.

In this paper we introduce a pseudospectral shooting method to model intense, ultrashort optical pulses incident on remote targets. The method naturally extends the unidirectional pulse propagation equation to include backward propagating radiation due to either nonlinear coupling with the “forward” field or reflections generated at material boundaries. The general applicability of the method is highlighted with several examples, including a full simulation of a pulse propagating through air across an ultrathin gold film coated on fused silica.

We show that the optical spin conductivity, which is a small ac response of a bulk spin current and elusive in condensed matter systems, can be measured in ultracold atoms. We demonstrate that this conductivity contains rich information on quantum states by analyzing experimentally achievable systems such as a spin-12 superfluid Fermi gas, a spin-1 Bose-Einstein condensate, and a Tomonaga-Luttinger liquid. The obtained conductivity spectra, which are absent in the Drude conductivity, reflect quasiparticle excitations and non-Fermi-liquid properties. Accessible physical quantities include the superfluid gap and the contact for the superfluid Fermi gas, gapped and gapless spin excitations as well as quantum depletion for the Bose-Einstein condensate, and the spin part of the Tomonaga-Luttinger liquid parameter elusive in cold-atom experiments. Unlike its mass transport counterpart, the spin conductivity serves as a probe applicable to clean atomic gases without disorder or lattice potentials. Our formalism can be generalized to various systems such as spin-orbit-coupled and nonequilibrium systems.

Osteocytes regulate the response of osteoclasts and osteoblasts to mechanical loading through signaling molecules, the levels of which are controlled by post-translational modification or degradation and by differential gene transcription and translation. The magnitude and mode of bone tissue deformation that elicits a transcriptional response in individual osteocytes in situ has been difficult to quantify. We measured SOST, Wnt11, TNF, and FRZB gene expression in osteocytes within loaded and unloaded control porcine trabecular bone explants using RNAScope® and compared the local tissue level strain and strain gradient-which we used as an indicator of potential poroelastic fluid flow-in the tissue surrounding osteocytes with high vs. low gene expression. The measured expression of all four genes differed between loaded and unloaded explants, on average, with the mean SOST expression level decreasing by 45%. In the loaded explants, gene expression was altered from baseline in about 30% of the osteocytes, and they were surrounded by tissue with higher strain and strain gradient than the 20 to 25% of osteocytes that remained near baseline expression. Both deviatoric strain and hydrostatic strain gradient were sensitive and specific predictors of the mechanobiological response for individual genes as well as combinations. SOST expression was highly related to elevated strain gradient, providing evidence that osteocytes respond to fluid flow in the lacunar-canalicular system.
