In each place I gave a tutorial and a technical talk, mostly an hour each session, with audiences in the range 50-100 in each case. The trip was phenomenal. I am a bit at a loss to communicate just how warmly the outreach was received. Science is truly the common language.

Bacteria can propel themselves like a corkscrew by wrapping their flagella around their body. How do they do it? A new study in Physical Review E suggests they take advantage of motor-induced buckling instability to perform this method of locomotion.

Experiments and simulations explore the flow and interface dynamics near a moving contact line at obtuse angles, revealing a sharp flow deceleration along the interface, offering insight into the classical moving contact line singularity.

An interferometry method for confined 2D binary droplets in a humidity-controlled environment enables high-res measurement of drying kinetics and internal concentration fields to characterize drying and transport in complex fluids.

Colloidal particles at fluid interfaces may strongly hinder or barely affect mass transfer. Using the Fick-Jacobs equation, a new Letter shows that hindrance occurs mainly at short times from reduced cross-section, giving a simple predictive criterion.

Turbulence drives heterogeneous particle adhesion in channel flows, with adhesion strength rising at higher temperatures. DNS show that deposition depends on particle inertia and is shaped by turbulent structures.

A two-sphere microswimmer made of responsive hydrogels can move through viscous fluids by swelling and deswelling in response to chemical waves. A model shows how swimming speed depends on the asymmetry of the gel spheres, enabling chemoresponsive motion.

Do ice stalagmites grow only vertically? Not always! Temperature and flow rate shape their form, creating star-like structures. Heat diffusion at the tip controls whether growth is purely vertical or also lateral.

🚢 🌊 PRFluids Editors' suggestion: Wave forecasts for ships are now more accurate with a new nonlinear prediction model using shipborne radar data and dynamic averaging. By including third-order effects, the model predicts even extreme waves in rough seas

Fluid-structure interaction simulations offer valuable insights for optimal aortic valve prosthesis placement. An invited article shows that supra-annular placement consistently lowers pressure, enhances flow, and reduces shear and hemolysis risk.

📢 PRFluids Editors' suggestion: Gel-like skins that form on drying porous materials delay evaporation. By accounting for pore size gradients and viscosity-dependent vapor pressure, a new model predicts the evaporation slowdown observed in experiments.

In turbulent superfluid helium, quantum vortex lines form tangles with a characteristic mean intervortex spacing. Experiments show this spacing follows a Kolmogorov-like power law with Reynolds number, which can be explained by classical turbulence theory.

While traditional wave models often struggle to efficiently capture ocean waves nonlinearity, a new physics-informed neural network approach pushes this limit. From sparse data, it reconstructs and predicts phase-resolved, nonlinear, and dispersive waves.
