Strategic angles help bats hunt stationary bugs on leaves. Continue reading
An odd fluid shows its inner workings
Viscous forces drive waves along a two-dimensional fluid’s free surface. Continue reading
A community effort to understand plant-soil-aerosol interactions
An ecosystem-wide molecular-level understanding of source-sink interactions is vital for trapping atmospheric carbon and increasing plant productivity. Now, plant scientists, climatologists, and atmospheric chemists are joining forces to create just that. Continue reading
A chiral fluid has odd viscosity
Viscous forces drive wave propagation along a two-dimensional fluid’s free surface. Continue reading
A tiny swimmer generates rapid, far-reaching signals in water
Colonies of a single-celled organism synchronize their contractions to release toxins that may deter predators. Continue reading
