Modeling compressed turbulent plasma with rapid viscosity variations
Physics of Plasmas, Volume 29, Issue 11, November 2022. We propose two-equation models in order to capture the dynamics of a turbulent plasma undergoing compression and experiencing large viscosity variations. The models account for possible relaminari…
Numerical investigation of self-sustained oscillations of stall cells around a leading edge-separating airfoil
Physics of Fluids, Volume 34, Issue 11, November 2022. The flow around a stalled airfoil is investigated using zonal detached-eddy simulation (mode 2), including transition effects through a coupling with the [math] framework. The airfoil exhibits mixe…
Coronavirus peplomer interaction
Physics of Fluids, Volume 34, Issue 11, November 2022. By virtue of their lack of motility, viruses rely entirely on their own temperature (Brownian motion) to position themselves properly for cell attachment. Spiked viruses use one or more spikes (cal…

A holographic wormhole traversed in a quantum computer
Nature, Published online: 30 November 2022; doi:10.1038/d41586-022-03832-zA system of nine quantum bits has been used to simulate a state known as a holographic wormhole, a concept that features in attempts to reconcile quantum mechani…
Dopamine promotes head direction plasticity during orienting movements
Nature, Published online: 30 November 2022; doi:10.1038/s41586-022-05485-4A study demonstrates that plasticity in the head direction system in Drosophila is modulated by dopamine, which increases learning when reorienting movements are…
A practical method for splitting seawater into hydrogen fuel
Nature, Published online: 30 November 2022; doi:10.1038/d41586-022-03601-yThe electrolytic splitting of saline water is a highly desirable and sustainable method for the mass production of green hydrogen, but seawater contains many imp…
