Gate-tunable Josephson diode by Mazur, GP, van Loo, N, van Driel, D, Wang, J-Y, Kouwenhoven, LP, Badawy, G, Gazibegovic, S, Bakkers, EPAM

“…Through shadow-wall lithography, we create short Josephson junctions with gate control of both the proximitized weak link as well as the proximitized leads. When the magnetic field is applied perpendicular to the nanowire axis, the superconducting diode effect depends on the out-of-plane angle. …”

Near-field dynamics of parallel twin jets in cross-flow by Zang, Bin, New, Tze How

“…Moreover, as the separation distance decreases to 1.5D, the twin jets interact closer to the jet exit such that organized leading-edge and lee-side vortices are present along the symmetry plane. Cross-stream results indicate that the pair of inner vortices associated with the two resulting CVPs is being induced to move towards each other along the symmetry plane, where their opposite-signed vorticities annihilate with each other eventually. …”
