Predicting the Shape of Pointy-Rock Forests
The shape and curvature evolution of dissolving rocks can be predicted using a new theory. Continue reading
Laser Breaks Liquid into Uniform Droplets
A laser beam hitting a column of liquid controls the droplet pinch-off at the bottom of the stream. Continue reading
Strong Currents Don’t Faze Salt Marsh Coastal Defences
A model captures the influence of plant flexibility, leaves, and current on
wave dissipation by a meadow of marsh plants. Continue reading
Cubes Keep Their Distance
Cubes suspended in a liquid are less likely than spheres to form clusters and fall out of solution. Read more in APS Physics…
Loopy Pipe Network Converts AC to DC
A simple network of pipes based on the structures of a bird’s lung transforms back-and-forth flow into one-way flow. Continue reading
A Vortex in an Egg Cell
During a fruit-fly egg cell’s early development, its internal fluid begins to swirl in a vortex—a transition caused by the coordinated behavior of elastic filaments in the cell. Continue reading
