# life: oops! It would appear that Mr. Donald intends to open hunt for Academics as well ... maybe these people are penniless immigrants too?

<< A prominent US scientific society altered its website to remove references to diversity and equity ― terms targeted by the administration of US President Donald Trump. Articles about scientists who are members of under-represented groups also temporarily vanished from the site, although they have since reappeared. >>

<< In an e-mail, ASM (Am Soc for Microbiol) president Theresa Koehler told Nature that the organization had followed legal advice to review all of its webpages, in the hope of protecting its federally funded programmes. >>️

# gst: rise and fall of a multicomponent droplet in a surrounding fluid along a bumpy path.


<< The coupling between mass transfer and hydrodynamic phenomena in two-phase flow is not straightforward due to the different effects that can be encountered. >>

Here, AA << consider the case of a two-component droplet (one miscible and one immiscible in water) released in a 2D rectangular domain filled with water. Mass transfer occurs between the miscible element and the surrounding water, which leads to a density inversion that directly affects the droplet trajectory through buoyancy. >>

<< the coupling between the flow and the diffusion leads to a significant increase in the magnitude of the upward motion of the droplet before it starts to fall. >>️

# gst: necklacelike pattern of vortex bound states


<< A vortex is a topological defect in the superconducting condensate when a magnetic field is applied to a type-II superconductor, (..). Because of the confinement of the quasiparticles by a vortex, it exhibits a circular-shaped pattern of bound states with discrete energy levels, (..) >>

 Here, AA << report a completely new type of vortex pattern which is necklacelike in an iron-based superconductor (..). (AA) theoretical analysis shows that this necklacelike vortex pattern arises primarily from selective off-shell interference between vortex bound states of opposite angular momenta in the presence of rotational symmetry breaking due to disorders. >>

<< This fascinating effect can be observed in a system with a small Fermi energy and wave vector, conditions fortuitously met in (Their) samples. (AA) results not only disclose a novel vortex structure, but also unravel a completely new quantum phenomenon in the superconducting condensate. >>️

# gst: chaotic billiards inside mixed curvatures


<< The boundary of a billiard system dictates its dynamics, which can be integrable, mixed, or fully chaotic. >>️

This AA study << introduces two such billiards: a bean-shaped billiard and a peanut-shaped billiard, the latter being a variant of Cassini ovals. Unlike traditional chaotic billiards, these systems incorporate both focusing and defocusing regions along their boundaries, with no neutral segments. >>

AA << examine both classical and quantum dynamics of these billiards and observe a strong alignment between the two perspectives. For classical analysis, the billiard flow diagram and billiard map reveal sensitivity to initial conditions, a hallmark of classical chaos. In the quantum domain, (AA) use nearest-neighbour spacing distribution and spectral complexity as statistical measures to characterise chaotic behaviour. >>

<< Both classical and quantum mechanical analysis are in firm agreement with each other. One of the most striking quantum phenomena (They) observe is the eigenfunction scarring (both scars and super-scars). Scarring phenomena serve as a rich visual manifestation of quantum and classical correspondence, and highlight quantum suppression chaos at a local level. >>

# gst: apropos of subdiffusive behaviors, the boomerang effect in classical stochastic models.

<< The phenomenon of Anderson localization, occurring in a disordered medium, significantly influences the dynamics of quantum particles. A fascinating manifestation of this is the “quantum boomerang effect” (QBE), observed when a quantum particle, propelled with a finite initial velocity, reverses its average trajectory, eventually halting at its starting point. >>

AA << uncover evidence of a similar effect in classical systems, characterized by the absence of typical diffusion processes. (Their) investigation encompasses both simplified probabilistic models and more complex phenomenological models that link classical with quantum mechanics. The results indicate that the boomerang effect is not confined to the quantum realm and may also be present in diverse systems exhibiting subdiffusive behavior. >>️

# gst: criticality and multistability in quasi-2D turbulence

       Fig. 1(a) Helmholtz resonators


<< Two-dimensional (2D) turbulence, despite being an idealization of real flows, is of fundamental interest as a model of the spontaneous emergence of order from chaotic flows. The emergence of order often displays critical behavior, whose study is hindered by the long spatial and temporal scales involved. >>

Here AA << experimentally study turbulence in periodically driven nanofluidic channels with a high aspect ratio using superfluid helium. (They) find a multistable transition behavior resulting from cascading bifurcations of large-scale vorticity and critical behavior at the transition to quasi-2D turbulence consistent with phase transitions in periodically driven many-body systems. >>

AA << demonstrate that quasi-2D turbulent systems can undergo an abrupt change in response to a small change in a control parameter, consistent with predictions for large-scale atmospheric or oceanic flows. >>️
