Desynchronization of jammed oscillators by avalanches

Synchrony is inevitable in many oscillating systems—from the canonical alignment of two ticking grandfather clocks, to the mutual entrainment of beating flagella or spiking neurons. Yet both biological and man-made systems provide striking examples of spontaneous desynchronization, such as failure c...
