Análise de 20 milhões de trajetórias de voo de mosquitos registradas revelou as regras matemáticas por trás da forma como esses minúsculos predadores se movem e se aproximam de seus alvos humanos.
Analyzing 20 million recorded mosquito flight paths revealed the mathematical rules behind how these tiny predators move and zero in on their human targets.
New parenthood got our fluid dynamics experts thinking about what ends up in the diaper. They headed to the zoo and the lab to come up with a cohesive physics story for how defecation works.
How do a frog’s tongue and saliva work together to be sticky enough to lift 1.4 times the animal’s body weight? Painstaking lab work found their spit switches between two distinct phases to nab prey.
S’inspirer du vivant pour créer de nouvelles technologies, voici toute l’ambition du biomimétisme. Exemple avec les poils d’animaux et le nettoyage. Ébouriffant !
Cleanliness is next to godliness. Did you know hairiness is a part of the equation as well?
