Vortex modeling can produce attractive visual effects of dynamic fluids, which are widely applicable for dynamic media, computer games, special effects, and virtual reality systems. However, it is challenging to effectively simulate intensive and fine detailed fluids such as smoke with fast increasing vortex filaments and smoke particles. The authors propose a novel vortex filaments in grids scheme in which the uniform grids dynamically bridge the vortex filaments and smoke particles for scalable, fine smoke simulation with macroscopic vortex structures. Using the vortex model, their approach supports the trade-off between simulation speed and scale of details. After computing the whole velocity, external control can be easily exerted on the embedded grid to guide the vortex-based smoke motion. The experimental results demonstrate the efficiency of using the proposed scheme for a visually plausible smoke simulation with macroscopic vortex structures.

Super-resolution imaging methods that combine interferometric axial (z) analysis with single-molecule localization microscopy (iSMLM) have achieved ultrahigh 3D precision and contributed to the elucidation of important biological ultrastructures. However, their dependence on imaging multiple phase-shifted output channels necessitates complex instrumentation and operation. To solve this problem, we develop an interferometric superresolution microscope capable of optimal direct axial nanoscopy, termed VILM (Vortex Interference Localization Microscopy).

Understanding the complexity of membrane biochemical changes in in-vitro-induced elliptocytosis can be interesting as it may mimic those in hereditary elliptocytosis. Studying the membrane biochemical changes in metabolically active elliptocytes can be crucial, but most modern methods, such as ektacytometry and EMA binding tests, fail to do so. This study employs single-cell Raman spectroscopy, a proven technique to study biochemical changes in individual functional cells to investigate biochemical modifications in the membrane and cytoskeleton of elliptocytes.

The collective dynamics of active biopolymers is crucial for many processes in life, such as cellular motility, intracellular transport, and division. Recent experiments revealed fascinating self-organized patterns of diverse active filaments, while an explicit parameter control strategy remains an open problem. Moreover, theoretical studies so far mostly dealt with active chains with uniform stiffness, which are inadequate in describing the more complicated class of polymers with varying stiffness along the backbone.

Small bubbles in fluids rise to the surface due to Archimede's force. Remarkably, in turbulent flows this process is severely hindered by the presence of vortex filaments, which act as moving potential wells, dynamically trapping light particles and bubbles. Quantifying the statistical weights and roles of vortex filaments in turbulence is, however, still an outstanding experimental and computational challenge due to their small scale, fast chaotic motion, and transient nature.

Skyrmions are topologically protected, vortex-like structures found in various condensed-matter systems including helical ferromagnets and liquid crystals, typically arising from chiral interactions. Using extensive particle-based simulations, we demonstrate that non-chiral hard banana-shaped particles, governed solely by excluded-volume interactions, spontaneously stabilize skyrmion structures through the bend-flexoelectric effect. Under thin confinement, we observe the formation of quasi-2D layers of isolated skyrmions or dense skyrmion lattices.
