From Punch Cards to the AI Age: How Modern Tools Breathed New Life into a 1972 FORTRAN Code for Curved Pipe Flow
Decades-old scientific code rarely survives the march of technology — but what if it didn't have to stay buried? This paper documents a compelling act of numerical archaeology, using modern AI tools to resurrect a 1972 FORTRAN 66 program and unlock enduring insights into laminar fluid flow.
How Campylobacter jejuni Hijacks Host Cell Architecture to Survive Inside Cells
When we think about bacterial infection, we often imagine a rapid battle: invasion, immune response, clearance. But what if, instead of fighting head-on, a bacterium quietly reprograms its host cell to create a more comfortable place to live?
Quantifying the Dunkelflaute: An analysis of variable renewable energy droughts in Europe
Renewable energy droughts, often also labeled “Dunkelflaute” events, are often framed as showstoppers of the energy transition. Here, we analyze drought events for solar photovoltaics, on- and offshore wind as well as for policy-relevant renewable technology portfolios in Europe.
