Ambient seismic noise consists of continuous vibrations randomly excited in time and space, mostly at the Earth’s surface, by natural and anthropogenic dynamic phenomena. Noise has long been considered a contaminant of seismic impulse responses from earthquakes or man-made explosions. The deterministic nature of the wave equation, together with the temporal and spatial coherence of seismic waves and the development of massive computing infrastructures, have enabled our ability to turn “noise into signal” and to obtain deterministic images of the Earth’s subsurface and its mechanical evolution from these random-like noise records.

Synchronization plays a crucial role in complex dynamical networks, ensuring coordinated behaviors among interconnected nodes. Successive lag synchronization (SLS) is a distinctive synchronization type characterized by sequential synchronization between adjacent nodes with a fixed time delay. SLS specifically addresses scenarios with precisely structured and ordered interactions, presenting potential applications such as drone formations during military parades, autonomous vehicle platooning, and sequential industrial processes. Despite its theoretical and practical significance, systematic exploration of SLS remains limited, primarily due to challenges in ensuring stability across diverse dynamical networks and handling complex time delay disturbances. This Perspective provides a brief review of SLS, clearly defining its unique features, systematically analyzing stability considerations and implementation methods across various dynamical networks using both continuous and discontinuous controllers. Additionally, specific algorithms and control-free strategies for achieving SLS are discussed. Finally, this Perspective highlights key open issues and suggests promising future research directions.

We provide an overview of theoretical developments in the rapidly developing field of active-fluid turbulence. After a summary of the partial differential equations (PDEs) for active fluids with scalar, polar, and nematic order parameters, we concentrate on a minimal description that employs the Toner-Tu-Swift-Hohenberg (TTSH) model. We present illustrative results —numerical, theoretical, and rigorous— for TTSH turbulence. In particular, we present statistical properties of such turbulence in both Eulerian and Lagrangian frameworks. We end with a perspective of new trends in the field of active-fluid turbulence.

Graph Neural Networks (GNNs), a class of neural networks specifically designed to handle graph-structured data, have emerged as a hot research topic in fields such as data mining, machine learning, and biomedical engineering. Network science studies the properties and behaviors of complex networks, with graphs serving as the mathematical abstraction of these systems. In recent years, GNN technology has demonstrated significant application potential in network science. In this letter, we provide a mini review of different types of GNNs, as well as their applications in important network science tasks, particularly in nodes and edges identification as well as network robustness. Finally, we discuss the promising future research directions.

Social media platforms, as complex socio-technical ecosystems, have reshaped the way individuals access, share, and interpret information. The interplay of diverse users, rapid content flow, and intricate network structures exemplifies the complexity science domain, where dynamic interactions give rise to emergent patterns of influence and opinion formation. In this perspective, we review three key areas of intelligent information dissemination on social media: 1) rumor and fake news detection, 2) competitive dissemination, and 3) the identification of influential nodes. We highlight recent advancements that leverage complexity-aware models, graph-based algorithms, and deep learning techniques to manage content credibility and guide the spread of verified information. Finally, we propose future research directions that bridge theory and practice, ultimately contributing to a more informed, reliable, and adaptive digital information ecosystem.
