contents We show that the one-dimensional Kuramoto-Sivashinsky (KS) equation features a scaling regime characterized by the dynamical exponent $z=1$ at intermediate scales between the large-scale Kardar-Parisi-Zhang (KPZ) scaling with $z=3/2$ and the small-scale non-universal behavior. This scaling regime is intrinsic to the KS dynamics since it arises from the vanishing of the effective viscosity when evolving from its microscopic negative KS value, to its macroscopic effective positive KPZ value. This vanishing of the viscosity deeply imprints the behavior of correlations at intermediate scales, which exhibit a universal $z=1$ scaling. This behavior pertains to the inviscid-Burgers universality class, which corresponds to the zero-viscosity fixed point of the KPZ equation. We evidence and characterize this so-far-overlooked scaling regime using both functional renormalization group and direct numerical simulations.
