Evaporation, made complex

In hydrophobic nanopores, extreme confinement may induce water evaporation at ambient conditions [1]. Such exotic phase behaviour plays a crucial role in biological phenomena such as hydrophobic…

Collective olfactory search in turbulent environment: how to balance exploration and exploitation

Many biological and robotic systems face the challenge of locating an odor source in turbulent…

Generative AI for Lagrangian Turbulence

We present a stochastic method for generating and reconstructing complex signals along the trajectories of small objects passively advected by turbulent flows [1]. Our approach makes use of…

How microstructures can influence the macroscopic response of a complex system: polymer induced turbulent drag reduction

It has been known since the forties that a minuscule amount of long-chain polymers can achieve an enormous…
