Summary: Supersolidity is an intriguing state of matter that combines superfluid and crystal features. It has been observed in atomic gases, where density modulations, coherence effects, and new Goldstone modes have been observed. Future research will focus on issues such as the realization of quantized vortices, the role of dimensionality, and the nature of phase transitions.

Summary: Through theoretical investigation, we found that spontaneous rotational symmetry breaking can lead to the emergence of a supersolid phase with characteristic collective excitations in specific regimes. Studying the dynamics across the transition, we demonstrate how these supersolids can be realized using standard protocols in state-of-the-art experiments.

Summary: This paper presents numerical analyses of radiated sound behaviors of dynamic systems containing nonlinear vibrational objects in a compressible and inviscid fluid. Various numerical tests confirm the validity of the developed vibro-acoustic coupling computational model, while examining the nonlinear acoustic wave responses of different vibrational objects. The study also highlights the effects of different nonlinearities on the radiated sound pressure responses and the influence of intermittent collisions on the acoustic waves in fluid.

Summary: Breakthrough experiments have recently explored the fascinating physics of dipolar quantum droplets and supersolids. The realization of dipolar mixtures has opened up further intriguing possibilities. It has been shown that the presence of a second component under certain conditions catalyzes droplet nucleation and supersolidity in an unmodulated condensate. This catalyzation mechanism can lead to the formation of a two-fluid supersolid with different superfluid fractions for each component, providing interesting prospects for studying spin physics in dipolar supersolids.

Summary: Surface acoustic wave (SAW) devices are crucial components in the RF front-end of mobile phones, and the requirements for linear specification are increasingly strict as mobile communication technology develops. Nonlinear distortions can greatly impact the application of mobile RF modules, emphasizing the importance of understanding and studying the generation mechanism of nonlinearity. Research progress on the nonlinearity of SAW devices has shown the significance of accurate modeling, appropriate measurement methods, and nonlinear response elimination technology for the development of future RF front-end modules with high linear SAW devices.

Summary: This paper investigates the effects of Contact Acoustic Nonlinearity (CAN) on Vibro-Acoustic Modulation (VAM) for delaminated composite structures. The study includes theoretical analysis, simulations, and experiments, establishing an approximate solution for the nonlinear motional equation and implementing a modified Greenwood-Williamson (GW) model for physical contact. The results show promising potential for extracting nonlinear damage indexes and characterizing the degree and range of damage through the asymmetry of sidebands.

Summary: In this study, we investigate theoretically the supersolidity in three-dimensional dipolar Bose-Einstein condensates, focusing on the impact of trap geometry on the dimensionality of resulting droplet arrays. We found that supersolidity is well established in one-dimensional arrays and may also be favorable in two-dimensional arrays with proper scaling of atom number to trap volume. By developing a tractable variational model, we were able to study droplet crystals and their excitations, and suggest potential creation of exotic ring and stripe states with experimentally feasible parameters. This work sets the stage for future research on two-dimensional dipolar supersolids in realistic settings.

Summary: Nonlinearities in rotating systems lead to various rich phenomena, and numerical continuation is used in this study to explore the responses of such systems systematically. Asynchronous responses with oscillating amplitude are observed at certain drive speeds due to internal resonance, isolated from more trivial synchronous responses. This work demonstrates the potential of numerical continuation as a tool to systematically explore the responses of nonlinear rotor systems.

Summary: This study investigates the phenomenon of nonlinear propagation and formation of large-amplitude ion-acoustic shocklets in a magnetized dense plasma, taking into account degenerate quantized electrons and classical ions. Using diagonalization matrix technique, a set of modified characteristic wave equations is derived to support ion-acoustic waves both analytically and numerically. The excitation of solitary waves and shocklets is significantly modified in the presence of quantizing magnetic fields, trapped/untrapped electrons, and ion-thermal corrections, providing insights into the behavior of large-amplitude shock excitations in degenerate dense plasmas.

Summary: The formation of the supersolid phase during NaCI solution ice formation is related to the effect of ionic polarization, which shortens and stiffens the H-O bond while weakening the O:H non-bonding interactions. The supersolid phase exhibits gel-like properties, low density, and viscoelasticity, influencing the T-N and energy absorption of the solution.

Summary: The band structure of monolayer MoS2 consists of spin-split subbands due to the presence of broken inversion symmetry and strong spin-orbit coupling. Surface acoustic waves induce strain-induced effective magnetic fields, leading to spin-flip transitions and the emergence of spin-acoustic resonance and acoustoelectric current. External magnetic fields break valley degeneracy and result in valley-selective splitting of spin-acoustic resonances in both surface acoustic wave absorption and acoustoelectric current.
