摘要

We report on a novel dynamic phase in electrical networks, in which current channels perpetually change in time. This occurs when the elementary units of the network are fuse-antifuse devices, namely, become insulators within a certain finite interval of local applied voltages. As a consequence, the macroscopic current exhibits temporal fluctuations which increase with system size. We determine the conditions under which this exotic situation appears by establishing a phase diagram as a function of the applied field and the size of the insulating Besides its obvious application as a versatile electronic device, due to its rich variety of behaviors, this network model provides a possible description for particle-laden flow through porous media leading to dynamical clogging and reopening of the local channels in the pore space.
