Spatiotemporal signatures of elastoinertial turbulence in viscoelastic planar jets by Yamani, Sami, Raj, Yashasvi, Zaki, Tamer A., McKinley, Gareth H., Bischofberger, Irmgard

“…We show how fluid elasticity has a nonmonotonic effect on the jet stability depending on its magnitude, creating two distinct regimes in which elastic effects can either destabilize or stabilize the jet. …”

Uncertainty & robustness for single-cell studies by Shiffman, Miriam

“…At the same time, these technologies present particular statistical and computational challenges, including noise, sparsity, technical and biological variability, and multilevel sampling regimes. To distill relevant signal from biological phenomena, then, analyses must combine information in a careful and coherent way across cells. …”

Beyond Color: Lattice Gauge Theory for Strongly-Coupled Physics by Oare, Patrick R.

“…Despite this, it remains difficult to compute QCD observables because QCD is strongly-coupled, and typical perturbative methods used in QFT only work in specific regimes of validity for QCD. The most successful ab initio method to study QCD is Lattice Gauge Theory (LGT). …”

Polyfluorinated crosslinker-based solid polymer electrolytes for long-cycling 4.5 V lithium metal batteries by Tang, Lingfei, Chen, Bowen, Zhang, Zhonghan, Ma, Changqi, Chen, Junchao, Huang, Yage, Zhang, Fengrui, Dong, Qingyu, Xue, Guoyong, Chen, Daiqian, Hu, Chenji, Li, Shuzhou, Liu, Zheng, Shen, Yanbin, Chen, Qi, Chen, Liwei

“…The crosslinked network facilitates transmission of the inductive electron-withdrawing effect of polyfluorinated segments. As a result, polyfluorinated crosslinked SPE exhibits a wide ESW, and the Li|SPE|LiNi0.5Co0.2Mn0.3O2 cell with a cutoff voltage of 4.5 V delivers a high discharge specific capacity of ~164.19 mAh g-1 at 0.5 C and capacity retention of ~90% after 200 cycles. …”
