Aging and memory of transitional turbulence

Turbulence onset in shear flows is often modeled as a memoryless directed percolation (DP) transition. The authors show that in channel flow, turbulent stripes age near the critical point, questioning the DP analogy and revealing geometry-dependent transition dynamics.

Identifying regions of importance in wall-bounded turbulence through explainable deep learning

Understanding the role of coherent structures in the dynamics of turbulent flows is of high relevance for fluid dynamics, climate systems, and aerodynamics. The authors propose a deep learning approach to evaluate the importance of various types of coherent structure in the flow, to uncover main mechanisms of wall-bounded turbulence and develop techniques for its control.

Scaling and intermittency in turbulent flows of elastoviscoplastic fluids

Elastoviscoplastic fluids combine solid- and liquid-like behaviour depending on applied stress. Simulations of elastoviscoplastic fluids at high Reynolds number now show that plasticity plays a key role in the turbulent flows seen in these systems, leading for example to intermittency.

Supramolecular chirality largely modulates chemical doping of conjugated polymers

Chemical doping allows for boosting the conductivity in conjugated polymers but the relationship between doping and the polymers’ complex, multiscale morphology remains elusive. Here the authors report that supramolecular chirality, which up to now had not been considered a parameter relevant to doping, significantly boosts the underpinning redox reaction in conjugated polymer thin films.

ALS/FTD-linked TBK1 deficiency in microglia induces an aged-like microglial signature and drives social recognition deficits in mice

TBK1 mutations are linked to Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) and Fronto-temporal dementia (FTD), but their cell-type specific disease contributions are unclear. Here, the authors show that Tbk1 deletion from mouse microglia shifts them to an aged-like phenotype and causes social recognition deficits.
