FBI Couldn’t Get into WaPo Reporter’s iPhone Because It Had Lockdown Mode Enabled
Lockdown Mode is a sometimes overlooked feature of Apple devices that broadly make them harder to hack. A court record indicates the feature might be effective at stopping third parties unlocking someone's device. At least for now.

The Federal Bureau of Investigation has so far been unable to access data from a Washington Post reporter’s iPhone
because it was protected by Apple’s "Lockdown Mode"
when agents seized the device from the reporter’s home, the US government said in a court filing.
FBI agents were however able to access the reporter’s work laptop by telling her to place her index finger on the MacBook Pro’s fingerprint reader.
This occurred during the January 14 search at the…

MIT study shows high-fat diets give liver cancer a dangerous head start
A high-fat diet does more than overload the liver with fat. New research from MIT shows that prolonged exposure to fatty foods can push liver cells into a survival mode that quietly raises the risk of cancer. Faced with ongoing metabolic stress, these cells abandon their normal roles and revert to a more primitive state that helps them endure harsh conditions. Over time, that shift leaves the liver less functional and far more vulnerable to tumor formation, helping explain why fatty liver disea…

Counterflow around a cylinder
Matheus P. Severino, Leandro F. Souza, Elmer M. Gennaro, Daniel Rodr\'iguez, Fernando F. Fachini
https://arxiv.org/abs/2602.22022 https://arxiv.org/pdf/2602.22022 https://arxiv.org/html/2602.22022
arXiv:2602.22022v1 Announce Type: new
Abstract: The incompressible flow around a circular cylinder, positioned at the center of an unconfined planar counterflow, is studied by means of numerical solutions of the conservation equations and linear stability analysis. The flow is completely defined by the Reynolds number ($\Rey$) -- based on the cylinder radius, the strain rate defining the counterflow, and the kinematic viscosity. For very low values of $\Rey$, the flow is steady, two-dimensional, and fully attached to the cylinder wall. Increasing $\Rey$ above $\Rey_s \approx 16.86$, the flow separates, giving rise to two symmetric, counter-rotating recirculation regions on each side of the cylinder. Further increasing $\Rey$ leads to a progressive enlargement of the recirculation regions and the appearance of multiple recirculation centers, akin to Moffatt eddies. However, the convective acceleration imposed by the counterflow limits their size. An oscillatory mode becomes linearly unstable for $\Rey_{c} \approx 4146$. This mode gives rise to a sinuous meandering of the wake flow, on each side of the cylinder, being analogous to the well-known von K\'arm\'an instability. The frequency of this mode is directly proportional to the strain rate defining the counterflow.

physics_collab: Multilayer physicist collaborations (2015)
Two multiplex networks of coauthorships among the Pierre Auger Collaboration of physicists (2010-2012) and among researchers who have posted preprints on arXiv.org (all papers up to May 2014). Layers represent different categories of publication, and an edge's weight indicates the number of reports written by the authors. These layers are one-mode projections from the underlying author-paper bipartite network.
