Boundary layer transition follows symmetry-breaking stages
What the study found The study finds that boundary layer transition in canonical K-type flow is not unstructured noise, but a sequence of organized temporal and spatial symmetry-breaking stages with measurable energy pathways. The authors describe a periodic, spanwise-symmetric fundamental harmonic response, followed by quasi-periodic, aperiodic, and then anti-symmetric structures. Why the authors say this…

C. elegans lifespan is limited by different competing causes of death
Study reveals how multiple age-related pathologies interact hierarchically to determine lifespan in C. elegans, showing bacterial infection and neoplasia mask or unmask each other’s effects on.
