Activity and autonomous motion are fundamental aspects of many living and engineering systems. Here, the scale of biological agents covers a wide range, from nanomotors, cytoskeleton, and cells, to insects, fish, birds, and people. Inspired…

The dichotomy between noise-stable and (completely) noise-sensitive stochastic models is of recent interest in probability theory. Of particular interest is the study of lattice models coming from statistical physics. The Fourier transform…

Low-frequency 1/f-noise occurs at all levels of the nature organization and became an actual factor of nanotechnologies, but in essence it remains misunderstood by its investigators. Here, once again it is pointed out that such the state of…
