Narwhals and their blessings: exact coherent structures of elastic turbulence in channel flows
Solutions of long, flexible polymer molecules are complex fluids that simultaneously exhibit fluid-like and solid-like behaviour. When subjected to external flows, dilute polymer solutions develop ela...

According to Financial Times, this puzzle was used by Dominic Cummings to select ‘innovators’ and ‘disruptors’ to work for the British Government.
I guess when areas do not have units, missing a few zeros in one’s budget is not such a big deal…

Out today in Phys. Rev. Research, we ask "how does an active nematic fluid respond to a deformable body or boundary?" We were pretty amused by a few observations. 1/20

Pseudo-giant number fluctuations and nematic order in microswimmer suspensions
Giant number fluctuations (GNFs), whereby the standard deviation $ΔN$ in the local number of particles $\langle N \rangle$ grows faster than $\sqrt{\langle N \rangle}$, are a hallmark property of dry ...

Some pictures from yesterday’s Wim-van-Saarloos-70-fest at the Dutch academy @knaw-nl.bsky.social. Happy birthday, Wim!
NB it’s the same room as where Pauli received his Lorentz medal.

Mooie dag vandaag bij de @knaw-nl.bsky.social. Oud-voorzitter Prof. Wim van Saarloos is vandaag 70 geworden en hij wordt geëerd met een symposium.
Wim heeft enorm veel bijgedragen aan de natuurkunde en aan de NL wetenschap in het geheel.
Van harte, Wim!
