Aggregation of vortex structures in 2D: the blob-wave system and its role in zonal flows
We give a rigorous mathematical result, supported by accurate numerical simulations, of the aggregation of a concentrated vortex blob with an underlying non constant vorticity field: the blob moves in the direction of the gradient of the field. It is a unique example of Lagrangian explanation of aggregation of vortex structures of the same sign in 2D inviscid fluids. A conceptual model of zonal flow maintenance and modulation based on this idea is then developed, which produces shapes in accord…

ZDF Sendung #Lanz ist heute wieder gescheitert: am Thema DebattenKultur und den Gästen. Die eigentlich brillante Maren Urner verrennt sich im dozieren, Ulf Poschardt in seiner Arroganz und Renate Künast in ihren Beispielen. Nur Boris Palmer habe ich heute zum ersten Mal verstanden.

Thermodynamic Favorability of the 1T Phase over the 1H Phase in Group III Metal Monochalcogenide Zigzag Nanoribbons
Owing to the promising optoelectronic and thermoelectric properties of two-dimensional (2D) group III-VI materials (MXs), their nanoribbons (NRs) have attracted notable attention as an emerging class of quasi-one-dimensional (quasi-1D) nanostructures. Due to the fact that the most stable 2D monolayer polymorph of MXs is the 1H phase, to date, existing studies in the literature have predominantly focused on the NRs formed from 1H phase MXs. Nevertheless, NRs of the 1T phase have received little …

Polymer-modulated evaporation flow enables scalable self-assembly of highly aligned nanowires
Highly aligned nanowire networks are essential for enabling anisotropic optical, electrical, and sensing functionalities in next-generation devices. However, achieving such alignment typically requires complex fabrication methods or high-energy processing. Here, we present a simple and scalable self-assembly strategy that uses a viscosity-enhancing polymer additive to modulate fluid flows during solvent evaporation. The addition of carboxymethylcellulose sodium (CMC-Na) reshapes the evaporation…

USPilot: An Embodied Robotic Assistant Ultrasound System with Large Language Model Enhanced Graph Planner
In the era of Large Language Models (LLMs), embodied artificial intelligence presents transformative opportunities for robotic manipulation tasks. Ultrasound imaging, a widely used and cost-effective medical diagnostic procedure, faces challenges due to the global shortage of professional sonographers. To address this issue, we propose USPilot, an embodied robotic assistant ultrasound system powered by an LLM-based framework to enable autonomous ultrasound acquisition. USPilot is designed to fu…

1/ Watched more #openhouse with C again last night (series 3 episodes 1 and 2). It’s common that only one of the partners in the relationship really wants to be there - and the other is going along with it to people please, and out of fear of losing the other one.
I think the reasons and motivations for going into
