Sunlight sparkling on water evokes the rich phenomena of liquid-light interaction, spanning spatial and temporal scales. While the dynamics of liquids have fascinated researchers for decades, the rise of neuromorphic computing ...
Grapevine Trunk Diseases, or GTDs, are the bane of vineyard owners worldwide, and as of 2012, were responsible for more than $1.5 billion in annual economic damages. While researchers have long known that a host of pathogenic ...
Researchers at the University of Toronto, Johns Hopkins University and Vanderbilt University have discovered that certain cells move surprisingly faster in thicker fluid—think honey as opposed to water, or mucus as opposed ...
Extrusion-based 3D printing of bio solids, or "bioprinting," is a promising approach to generating patient-specific, tissue-engineered grafts. However, a major challenge in bioprinting is that most currently used materials ...
Fruit flies are known for their sweet tooth, but new research also indicates they may offer hints to how animals sense—and avoid—high concentrations of salt.
A study by the UPV/EHU-University of the Basque Country has established that the two-meter safety distance may be reasonable for preventing COVID-19 infection
Nanofluids (NFs) have been found to possess enhanced thermophysical properties compared to those of bare fluids like organic solvents or water. Since the first study was published in 1951, NFs have emerged as promising heat ...
Impure chemical mixtures can now be separated based on differences in molecular silhouette. Membranes have been developed with nanoscale pores that match the shape of impurities in the mix so that only the impurity can pass ...
In a new study on ocean wave breaking, researchers have demonstrated that the breaking behavior of axisymmetric "spike waves" is quite different to the long-established theories on the breaking of traveling waves.
Three RIKEN researchers have created a liquid whose response to an electric field can be tuned over the largest range of any known material. The fluid could find use in various applications including wearable electronics.
