Estimating Geomagnetically Induced Currents in High‐Voltage Power Lines for the Territory of Kazakhstan by A. B. Andreyev, S. N. Mukasheva, V. I. Kapytin, O. I. Sokolova

“…The impact of CMEs on the Earth's magnetosphere causes geomagnetic storms, which trigger geomagnetic effects measurable in the ionosphere, upper atmosphere, and on and in the ground. During extreme cases, rapidly changing geomagnetic fields generate intense geomagnetically induced currents (GICs), which can cause dramatic effects on man‐made technological systems, including transmission lines and pipelines. …”

Self-Assembly of Particles on a Curved Mesh by Gabriele Costa, Santi Prestipino

“…We highlight the existence of sharp transitions between distinct low-temperature “phases”, featuring, among others, regular polyhedral, cluster-crystal-like, and worm-like structures. When attempting to reproduce the equation of state of the model by Monte Carlo simulation, we find hysteretic behavior near zero temperature, implying a bottleneck issue for Metropolis dynamics near phase-crossover points.…”
