A Nonlinear Cavity Cools a Cantilever
Photons in a nonlinear cavity perform “negative” work on a mechanical oscillator, cooling it toward its ground state. Continue reading
How Freshwater Mixes in a Winter Lake
An influx of warmer water mixing with a colder ambient volume can create a dense parcel that drives bottom currents and determines the resulting circulation patterns. Continue reading
Schrödinger Win for Extreme Waves
Researchers create the most realistic rogue waves to date, showing dynamics that follow those expected for extreme waves in more idealized systems. Continue reading
Wind Farms Perform Under Pressure
Simulations show that negative wind shear can reduce the power output of wind farms. Continue reading
Water Droplets Shape-Shift on the ISS
Experiments in zero gravity show how a static droplet oscillates on a vibrating hydrophobic surface. Continue reading
Twinkle, Twinkle, Star No More
New forecasting approaches could help users of ground-based telescopes predict when the atmosphere will most blur incoming light, allowing them to better remove the effect. Continue reading
Defects Control Silica’s Viscosity
The quirky temperature dependence of liquid silica’s viscosity comes from the liquid equivalent of crystal defects, according to new simulations. Continue reading

Pore Collapse Leads to Universal Banded Patterns
A model attributes the propagating bands that appear in a compressed porous medium to structural changes alone. Continue reading
Fluid Dynamics of Clouds
In a series of invited papers, researchers discuss new tools for reducing uncertainties in climate models associated with cloud formation and
transport. Continue reading
