Higher-curvature corrections and the endpoint of black hole evaporation in gravitational effective field theory

Lorens F. Niehof, Sjors Heefer, Andrea Fuster +1

The endpoint of black hole evaporation remains uncertain once the semiclassical description approaches the Planck scale. In this work we study late-stage evaporation within four-di…

The Allee Effect in Compressible Flows

Jonathan Bauermann, Roberto Benzi, David R. Nelson +1

Microbes in marine environments are often confined to thin near-surface layers while being advected by turbulent flows. Because such constrained advection generates an effectively…

Odd wave turbulence

Xander M. de Wit, Léo Touzo, Sébastien Galtier +3

Wave turbulence describes the statistical dynamics of weakly interacting waves in out-of-equilibrium systems. These systems are out of equilibrium because forcing and dissipation o…

Freezing lakes as analogue models of CDM cosmology and beyond

Lorens F. Niehof, Ananya Venkatasubramanian, Federico Toschi +1

We extend previous conduction-based analogies between ice growth in a lake and cosmological expansion by incorporating buoyancy-driven heat transport. Reformulating the Stefan prob…

Experimental investigation into Lagrangian statistics of droplets in homogeneous isotropic turbulence

Lu Li, Yi-Bao Zhang, Yaning Fan +2

We experimentally investigate the Lagrangian dynamics of finite-sized, neutrally buoyant droplets in homogeneous isotropic turbulence. The droplet size follows a log-normal distrib…

Noise-enabled goal attainment in crowded collectives

Lucy Liu, Justin Werfel, Federico Toschi +1

In crowded environments, individuals must navigate around other occupants to reach their destinations. Understanding and controlling traffic flows in these spaces is relevant for c…
