Spectral analysis of attached and separated turbulent flows over a Gaussian-shaped bump

This study combines experimental measurements with linear modeling to reveal that low-frequency coherent structures in separated turbulent flow over a Gaussian bump are driven by a three-dimensional zero-frequency modal instability and finite-span standing-wave dynamics, offering a physical explanation for discrepancies between simulations and experiments while highlighting the critical need for adequate spanwise domain sizes in numerical studies.

Large-scale real-time signal processing in physics experiments: The ALICE TPC FPGA pipeline

To support the ALICE Time Projection Chamber's continuous readout mode during LHC Run 3, the authors present a custom, large-scale FPGA-based pipeline that performs real-time signal processing—including common-mode correction, pedestal subtraction, and ion-tail filtering—to reduce raw data rates from over 3 TB/s to approximately 900 GB/s under extreme high-occupancy conditions.

Shape-Independent Fluidization in Epithelial Cell Monolayers

This study challenges the prevailing geometric paradigm of epithelial fluidization by demonstrating that reducing cell-cell adhesion can trigger a shape-independent transition to a fluid state, necessitating a revised theoretical model that accounts for adhesion's dual role in both interfacial energy and kinetic viscous drag.

Operational Emergence of a Global Phase under Time-Dependent Coupling in Oscillator Networks

This paper establishes an operational criterion for the emergence of a well-defined global phase in time-dependent oscillator networks, demonstrating that phase robustness depends on the competition between coupling strength and ramp rates, with spectral properties governing synchronization in random networks while topological defects induce persistent partial ordering in spatial lattices.
