ALT Visualization of defect-driven chaos from a numerical simulation of a binary flocking mixture with nonreciprocal interaction from the paper “Breakdown of Emergent Chiral Order and Defect Chaos in Nonreciprocal Flocks.” Swirling patterns of deep red and blue against a white background show sweeping, wave-like and cloud-like textures of different scales resembling turbulent fluid motion.

ALT Four red, blue, and black particle density snapshots from the paper, “Extensive Spatiotemporal Chaos in Nonreciprocal Flocking.” Ordered from upper left to lower right, the snapshots show chiral order breaking down through spiral-shaped defects into a chaotic state in a nonreciprocal flock. As chiral order breaks down, large, sweeping patterns start to form until they dominate the entire snapshot.

ALT Would you like to join our close-knit team of editors running the world’s premier physics Letters journal? As an Associate Editor of Physical Review Letters, you would handle all phases of the peer review process and ultimately decide which papers we publish. For this important work, we seek a dynamic and personable individual with a strong scientific background in one or more of these areas: statistical physics; nonequilibrium, nonlinear, and complex systems.
