Dismantling the sawmill motor to investigate an ignition failure. Changing the spark plug didn't help. It could be the HT lead but my local small engine guru says probably the coil.
Getting to the coil requires dismantling a whole lot of stuff...

Modeling flying formations as flow-mediated matter
Collective locomotion of swimming and flying animals is fascinating in terms of individual-level fluid mechanics and group-level structure and dynamics. Here we bridge and relate these scales through a model of formation flight that views the collective as a material whose properties arise from the flow-mediated interactions among its members. We build on and revise an aerodynamic model describing how flapping flyers produce vortex wakes and how they are forced by others' wakes. While simplisti…

”From the ground, Zaydan saw his mother start to stand up, before a sniper bullet felled her with a shot to the head. ’Because I’m young, I got scared and left my mother,’ he said. ’I ran away.’
Zaydan is one of eight Palestinians who spoke to the Financial Times about their attempt to reach the #Gaza Humanitarian Foundation site in western Rafah over the past week. Their twilight journeys thronge…

Quantum simulation of fermionic non-Abelian lattice gauge theories in $(2+1)$D with built-in gauge protection
Recent advancements in the field of quantum simulation have significantly expanded the potential for applications, particularly in the context of lattice gauge theories (LGTs). Maintaining gauge invariance throughout a simulation remains a central challenge, especially for large-scale non-Abelian LGTs with dynamical matter, which are particularly complex in terms of engineering for experiments. Gauge-symmetry breaking is inevitable in established rishon-based schemes for alkaline-earth-like ato…

The Interplay of Polar and Nematic Order in Active Matter: Implications for Non-Equilibrium Physics and Biology
Active matter has played a pivotal role in advancing our understanding of non-equilibrium systems, leading to a fundamental shift in the study of biophysical phenomena. The foundation of active matter research is built on assumptions regarding the symmetry of microscopic constituents. While these assumptions have been validated extensively, instances of mixed or joint symmetries are prevalent in biological systems. This review explores the coexistence of polar and nematic order in active matter…
