Topological transitions of lipid membranes are ubiquitous in key biological processes for cell life, like neurotransmission, fertilization, morphogenesis, and viral infections. Despite this, they are not well understood due to their multiscale nature, which limits the use of molecular models and calls for a mesoscopic approach such as the celebrated Canham-Helfrich one.

Flow, Turbulence and Combustion, Aug 2023 Direct numerical simulation of a turbulent pipe flow of a realistic solution of $$10^8$$ polymers, modelled as finitely extensible nonlinear elastic (FENE) dumbbells, and directly momentum coupled with the incompressible Navier–Stokes equations, are performed by means of an Eulerian-Lagrangian approach. Besides the drag reduction, the polymers significantly modify mean and turbulent kinetic energy budgets.

Written by Carlo Massimo | Photos by Callie BroaddusIn the village of Lincoln, near Purcellville, among the sheep and shorthorn cattle and patrols of turkey along the blue gravel roads, sits Somerset Farm. It was a Quaker property at the time of its construction, around 1830, and it obeys the Quaker philosophy of architecture: to work with nature, rather than dominate it. You’ll need to drive a good way up the half-mile driveway to see its red roofs, nestled in a natural hollow.
