How can we use drawings and graphic narratives to develop and communicate our research? The Border Readings group at ILOS has invited researchers and artists, guest researcher Kari Korolainen and ILOS researcher Fabian Heffermehl, to share with us their thoughts and experiences of using drawing and graphic storytelling to think about their research problems ¨C and thinking with their research materials ¨C in visual and bodily ways. Welcome to this open discussion, if you are interested in exploring these possibilities or already have experiences which you might share.

Fluid efflux from the brain plays an important role in solute waste clearance. Current experimental approaches provide little spatial information or data collection is limited due to short duration or low frequency of sampling. One approach shows tracer efflux to be independent of molecular size, indicating bulk flow, yet also decelerating like simple membrane diffusion. In an apparent contradiction to this report, other studies point to tracer efflux acceleration following infusions. In this talk, I will share a stylized advection-diffusion model for clearance of waste, which reconciles the apparent contradiction, and discuss methods to validate it with novel MRI data. Being stylized, it is also simple enough to permit a dimensional analysis which indicates that clearance of waste from the brain is governed by three dimensionless quantities including a potential bottle-neck for clearance due to transport across the surface membranes.

Cavitation is a ubiquitous and sometimes destructive, phenomenon. For instance, cavitation bubbles may interrupt water flow in plants or severely damage the surfaces of machines such as pumps and propellers. The so-called tribonucleation of vapor bubbles has been proposed to be responsible for the cracking sound produced by the manipulation of human synovial joints. To study cavitation up close we have developed an experimental setup where a sphere in water abruptly leaves a flat surface starting from a separation of only 10 nm.

Upon upward movement of the spherical surface, a cavitation bubble forms and develops branched fingers through the Saffmann-Taylor instability. Simultaneously, negative liquid pressures in the range of ¡«10atm are observed. These large tension values occasionally lead to secondary nucleation events. The bubble sizes satisfy a predicted Familiy-Vicsek scaling law where the bubble area is proportional to the inverse bubble lifetime. The fact that creeping flow cavitation bubbles are more short lived the larger they are separate them from bubbles that are governed by inertial dynamics.

Self-assembly is the spontaneous generation of order in systems driven by thermal agitation and interactions. At the molecular level, self-assembly plays an important role in the formation of giant com- plex macromolecules, being quite relevant for living systems. At the mesoscopic level, capillary driven self-assembly has been proposed for building structures in the gap between classical bottom-up and top-down fabrication methods, i.e. at the scales in between 10 micrometers and 1 millimeter. Although the method was proposed 20 years ago, only regular or simple structures were achieved so far. Using both experimental and statistical physics ideas, we demonstrate how to exploit subtle capillary interactions to create elaborate complex structures, as well as functional micromachines. On top of that, we show how such mescoscopic systems can be the analogues of many different physical systems such as folding molecules, molecular locks and keys, and crystal formation.
