Surface curvature guides early construction activity in mound-building termites

Kavli Affiliate: Radhika Nagpal | First 5 Authors: Daniel S. Calovi, Paul Bardunias, Nicole Carey, J. Scott Turner, Radhika Nagpal | Summary: Termite colonies construct towering, complex mounds, in a classic example of distributed agents coordinating their activity via interaction with a shared environment. The traditional explanation for how this coordination occurs focuses on the […]

SOFIA Far Infrared Imaging Polarimetry of M82 and NGC 253: Exploring the Super-Galactic Wind

Kavli Affiliate: Rodriguez Enrique Lopez | Summary:We present Far-Infrared polarimetry observations of M82 at 53 and $154~μrmm$ and NGC 253 at $89~μrmm$, which were taken with HAWC+ in polarimetry mode on the Stratospheric Observatory for Infrared Astronomy (SOFIA). The polarization of M82 at $53~μrmm$ clearly shows a magnetic field geometry perpendicular to the disk in […]

Jetting to dripping transition: critical aspect ratio in step emulsifiers

Kavli Affiliate: David Weitz | First 5 Authors: Andrea Montessori, Marco Lauricella, Elad Stolovicki, David Weitz, Sauro Succi | Summary: Fully three-dimensional, time-dependent, direct simulations of the non-ideal Navier-Stokes equations for a two-component fluid, shed light into the mechanism which inhibits droplet breakup in step emulsifiers below a critical threshold of the the width-to-height ($w/h$) […]

Future Opportunities in Accelerator-based Neutrino Physics

Kavli Affiliate: Mark Hartz | Summary:This document summarizes the conclusions of the Neutrino Town Meeting held at CERN in October 2018 to review the neutrino field at large with the aim of defining a strategy for accelerator-based neutrino physics in Europe. The importance of the field across its many complementary components is stressed. Recommendations are […]
